I'm reading a book at the moment called "Hunting Warbirds" by Carl Hoffman
In it they are recovering a B17 with a 212...
After lifting a section and flying it out it starts to spin on the strop.
Anyway the book goes on to say that he had to rush back to pick up the salvors as one of the controls/linkages was severed to one engine....
How can something spinning on the hook severe engine linkages???
And has anyone seen Charlies Angels where they get under the Uh1 and pull out the "primary flight controls" (a bunch of wires) and the dude flying then has no cyclic control.. bizzare!
