From the B-52 manual
Maintain wings level attitude with lateral control as the stall is approached. Fairly large lateral corrections may be necessary. Caution should be used because lateral control capability decreases rapidly as the stalling speed is approached. Rudder may be used to maintain heading; however, during low speed flight, a delay in aircraft response after control input of up to 3 seconds may exist before roll correction develops.

The stall characteristics of the aircraft will vary with wing flap extension and drop tank installation. The following stall characteristics can be expected: With flaps extended and no drop tanks installed, there is little or no stall warning speed margin. Buffet of the flaps when the stall is approached will mask aircraft buffet. At stall, the aircraft will tend to fall off on one wing. This fall-off can be stopped by applying forward pressure on the control column and by using whatever lateral control and rudder is required. As lateral control degrades rapidly at speeds below initial buffet. the use of rudder may be necessary to correct for bank angle.
