P=39's and flat spins.

Take a gander at Bob Hoover's book "Forever Flying". He claims that he
tumbled a P-39 and it was nothing more than a Lomcovák.

I've known Bob for thirty years, and have heard all the stories :-)
Actually, what he did was set the airplane up for a Lomcevak. The result was
more like a sperm whale ejaculating in orgasmic ecstasy! :-)) I wouldn't
advise pilots with less than Bob's experience to try this in a prop fighter
..
