Halifax Crash
Hullo Cees
I was completely aware of someone having a tail stall event and we talked of the feel that may attend such. Overemphasis of that initial problem may have lessened the name of a good aeroplane.
Air Commodore Peter Cribb wrote the Preface to my first book, “Voice from the Stars a Pathfinders Story.” He was a 3 tour pilot and was responsible for the installation of the first airborne H2S radar into the 35-Squadron Halifaxes chosen to be first to fly radar into Europe. Of the tail stall on triangular tail models, he cites his flying back from the Ruhr with his 2 starboard Merlins damaged and shut down and having to use practically full left rudder to maintain direction. When he got tired he let the Halifax fly full circle then used his left leg again. You could do a lot with the Halifax
