Best angle of climb airspeed is not published in any Flight Manual because there is no regulatory requirement for it.
As others have noted, the airspeed is quite variable (depends on the power available and the power required, and is in an area where the pitot system is not particularly reliable.
There were some tests done on different techniques for 'short field' takeoffs in helicopters (UH-1H) unable to hover OGE back in the 70s, but these results won't read across to other types particularly well.
