Sources for aircraft behaviour outside the manuals?

Hi guys.

 

Quick question, what sources other than aircraft manuals are you using to replicate aircraft handling? I ask because I'm currently reading Eric Brown's autobiography and he mentions stuff like the Me-262's engines being prone to flameouts if the throttle is moved too fast and other notable effects that you might not necessarily get from manuals.

biographies, memoirs, technical documentation (related to other specific components, in your example for example the manual for the JUMO engine), opposing side test reports (Allied mainly), engine manuals.

 

There is obviously more, but most of it is actually covered by flight manuals/pilots' handbooks, and if not-- the maintenance manuals/handbooks.

Perhaps the Germans didn't know about that......

yes, its one of the most exciting things about the 262, finding all the troubles that are associated with this new tech from the 40's... I hope that its a complete beast to learn and fly.
