Back in the 40's and shortly after I had soloed in the J-3 my instructor turned me over to another instructor who had just got back from world war ll, he had been a navy pilot in the war. I was in my teens and they must have sort of knew what a young kid of that age might have on his mind. We took off and climbed up to a safe altitude and he told me to circle over a house below us, we were at a cruise power setting and maintaining altitude. He told me to imagine that my girl friend was down there on the porch in a bathing suit waving at me. He had me keep tightening the turn up and to maintain altitude I had to keep putting in more top rudder and kept a lot of back pressure on the stick to keep the turn tight…then the plane stalled and over the top we went and started to spin, I mean it happened right now and I applied opposite rudder and got the stick forward and recovered…It was sort of violent and I never forgot what he had showed me and taught me….

The story of tight circles, etc is/was too close to home. Early 40s I was partner with two others in an Aeronca C3. The two guys were doing tight circles around a girl friend's windmill. Stick all the way back, nothing holding them up but the fin&rudder. Not enough. Two dead.
