"During a descending turn, or spiral, in addition to pitch and
yaw, the airplane will be rolling about the roll axis in the direction
of the turn. As the airplane rolls, it induces an upflow of air into
the descending wing. This results in the descending wing having the
greatest angle of attack. If a stall is encountered, the airplane
will likely roll into the turn." pp.40-41.


I'm having some trouble visualizing this.


Try it as a wide barrel roll heading straight down.

Rolling into the turn no?
