Greetings,

I'm looking for assistance in obtaining what, so far, appears to be obscure data. Specifically, increase in lift with the P-38 fowler flaps at the maneuvering stop. This will ultimately be used to calculate this relatively large fighter plane's ability to turn with smaller, lighter aircraft in combat. I have calculated lift from various stall speed tests, but those are either in a clean configuration or at full flaps. Any information or advice would be appreciated.

PS. I'm not an engineer, just a fan of Kelly Johnson's work.
