Military Nomenclature
P=pursuit/patrol used from 1920s until 1944
F=fighter
B=bomber
C=cargo
Many planes had various models with slight differences in speed, ceiling, etc. Some used different engines which could make a significant effect on speed. Top speed also varies with altitude.
About Mach Speeds
What is speed is Mach 1? It depends on the air. At sea level
on an average day, the speed of sound is 761 mph. At 20,000
feet, it’s 660 mph. So, Mach 2 at sea level is much faster than
Mach 2 at 20,000 feet.
