Thanks for posting this. Not everyone knows about it. Back when I played IL-2 and Pacific Fighters (terrible games), I used to often complain on the message boards about the pathetic and unrealistic "stalls." I used these videos as proof that the IL-2 stalls were wrong; it that sad game, aircraft could not stall straight forward under any circumstances. The stalls in Aces High II are correct or very nearly so, but I still think it's interesting to look at the real ships stalling.
About nine minutes and forty seconds into this film (http://www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com/realg2/P-38RV956.ram), a P-38 Lightning is stalled.
About thirteen minutes and fifty seconds into this film (http://www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com/realg2/P-47ARV56.ram), a P-47 Thunderbolt is stalled.
About twenty six minutes and forty seconds into this film (http://www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com/realg2/P-39G56.ram), a P-39 Airacobra is stalled several times. Another beautiful one occurs at about twenty eight minutes and fifty seconds.
About fourteen minutes into this film (http://www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com/realg2/F4URV1056.ram), the F-4U Corsair performs several stalls with the wing dropping and then one without.
About twelve minutes and fifteen seconds into this film (http://www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com/realg2/HCb.ram), the F-6F Hellcat performs several stalls with the wing dropping and then one that is nearly straight.
About twenty one minutes and fifty three seconds into this film (http://www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com/realg2/P-40SS.ram), the P-40 Warhawk stalls with a very nasty spin.
About fourteen minutes and thirty three seconds into this film (http://www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com/realg2/P-51RV1056.ram), the P-51 Mustang stalls with a wing dropping, followed by an accelerated stall at about fifteen minutes and twenty two seconds. At twenty one minutes and eighteen seconds, the pilot performs two deliberate spins.
