Standard procedure in 1956 in Navy P2V patrol squadron, as I remember, was
go
to maneuvering speed and fly attitude.
  Has this changed?

Terrence,

 

This is correct but you are in for a delightful surprise in even a 320 powered LNC2.  Maneuvering Speed (Va) is 143 KIAS.  Ummmm, one combination is about 2300 RPM, 19-20" MAP.  But, just for giggles, take your plane up (when 100%) and try and hold that speed in moderate turbulence.

 

Here again is where our wing is unique - Use a little more MAP and drop 5-10 degrees flap (out of reflex) to lower the nose, add some drag and make it a little slower to respond to speed gains when the turbulence pitches the plane down..........
