The article currently says that the all-up-weight stall speed is 80-90 mph with flaps up and 65-70 mph with flaps down. So far, so good. But the next stall speeds for a 1500-lb lighter configuration are 75-80 mph and 65-70 mph respectively. The stall speed decreases as the weight gets lighter in the flaps-up configuration, which makes sense. But why doesn’t the stall speed do the same thing in the flaps-down configuration? It’s constant despite the lighter weight. Is this a typo?

I have deleted firing 2,088 rockets and dropping 80 short tons (73 t) of bombs
from the text. The text claimed that Typhoons flying in support of the US 30th Infantry Division on 10 July at Mortain fired 2,088 rockets and dropped 80 short tons (73 t) of bombs. But the cited source does not say that: Hallion, Richard P. (1994).
