Does anyone have, or know where to get, Curtiss-Wright engine specifications, especially turbocompound specifications?
I am looking for original Curtiss-Wright specs with power curves, NOT type certificate data sheets.
Any help appreciated.

I found that many US Navy aeroplane manuals have good engine information.

Some details and the performance curve for the CB18A / R-3350-35A is in here:
https://www.avialogs.com/aircraft-l/lockheed/item/8533-constellation-flight-engineers-handbook
PDF page 9 for engine details and pdf page 28 for the performance curve.

Thank you jriend and sithomas for the suggestions.
Unfortunately, neither source produced anything helpful, as I was looking for Duplex Cyclone 972TC18DA and 988TC18EA performance data.
I was successful in locating said performance data in a source I had, but only for these two models. I would still like to obtain and publish a comple Curtiss-Wright engine specification set.
