For clarity, It should be noted that the B-24 cruising speed was rated at 150-160 mph at sea level, such speed being indicated on the instrument panel. Pilots in World War II generally cruised at this indicated air speed whether at sea level or high altitude (if that speed possible at high altutude).

Each crew was supplied with the U.S. Army Air Corps TYPE E-6B AERIAL DEAD RECKONING COMPUTER, which was a hand held mechanical device where the indicated air speed was entered upon an affixed wheel which was then turned to the present altitude and outdide temperature. The resulting figure was the true air speed.The difference in indcated and true airspeed is due to altitude and outside air tempeature as explained elsewhere in Wikipedia.

These figures may be confirmed by research into the original secifications of the B-24D as supplied by Consolidated, the manufacturer of the aircraft. Tthe use of the E-6B computer can be found upon further research of which Wikipedia is capable."

Why has the page been edited so that there is no longer a disimbauguation link on the page? I honestly don't care about aircraft velocity and only wanted info on the victoria cross, there is no reason to remove the link for other uses of VC. Reverting the link. Pissedpat 05:04, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
