"From hundreds of wind tunnel experiments we developed the non-stall wing design that makes it impossible for a P-38 to go into a tail-spin even on one engine.  It's this sort of designing that gives every Lockheed and Vega plane extra strenght and extra dependability."

I've never heard of the non-stall wing before.  Is that a "marketing" term or is it legit?

Nice historical piece Ozark.  Thanks.
