Ahh you need to correspond with John Tullamarine, I gave him my copy of the "Final Report of the ICAO Standing Committee on Performance" circa 1955. This will give a good background to the development of modern (civil) performance standards. Probably a good starting point.
D. P. Davies "Handling the Big Jets" has some detail on the development of jet transport performance standards, from a certification TP's view.
Old British military, probably AVP970, but don't really recall.
Cheers.
