PBY Catalina and Combat Examples

One trick I think you're missing: Top Speed is listed in terms of Move, i.e. yards per second. p. B466 calculates Cruising Speed in miles per hour so that you can work out how many hours it takes to go a set distance. 1 yard/second is roughly 2 mph. So what that rule is actually saying is that aircraft cruising speed is about 78% of top speed, and if you want to use that last 22% you pay the fuel penalty.
