Is the manoeuvre really a loop? In the various film views it seems more like a 'torque turn' is performed at the apex? Not sure what name such a manoeuvre has?
The poster briefly seen in the video indicates 'Tommy' performed 10 of these 'loops' on the same day.
PS: Parent company of Sikorsky was still named United Aircraft Corp at the time, not United Technologies. The latter was only from 1975 onwards according to Wikipedia.
That is a loop, you dont see the ac spin on its mast axis
