168 mph (270 kph) for the P-40E-1

 

You can find the corner speeds for BoX aircraft beside the "Maximum performance turn..." entries in this post.

Corner speed? As in how slow can you turn around? Try using 20 flap full power and 60 degree bank. Practice around a static object and try not to stall

See this section on Turn Performance for more details.

 

I think the term "corner" refers to when a graph of g-load vs. speed turns a corner at the speed that results in the maximum g-load beyond which structural damage occurs (see point A in the second graph in the example here).

 

Here's a video on the subject.
