Question Aerodynamic Unporting

Hi All

Read in E.K. Gann's Fate is the hunter about "Aerodynamic Unporting". This aparrently occured on some early models of the DC-4, due to some failure in the horizontal stabilizer coupled with certain CofG possitions. I understand unporting in fueltanks and oilsumps...but could someone please expain the aerodynamic version of this to my primitive brain.

Thanx

Rabid
