NP yer welcome.

PS I just re-read the section of the book and it seems it wasn't actually a stick force reversal. It was just that the elevators would become incredibly "light" and the pilots ended up pulling way more gees than they intended.

LOL
No, the stick forces became lighter and lighter as you pulled more and more gees. I've read of similar things happening to P-39's and P-51's if they were loaded improperly or had elevator rigging problems.
