These NACA data and test are very inaccurate for RL planes and airfoils.

I found some more reliable data for such airfoils:

Fokker DVII- 1.32 Clmax

RAF 15 ( SE5?) - 1.2 Clmax

Spad XIII - 1.05 Clmax
Kwiatek,

can you please tell me the source (or web page) of that NACA test? Or the number and type of airfoil study (M.I.T., Eiffel, Gottinga ....).
I have about 1,000 airfoils charts from a 1925 italian official publication but many of them are identified only by number/study and not by aircraft.

Regards,
GATT
