Well so much for the pilots trying to 'read instruments' when in fact they were probably in VMC conditions,
As one who has spent quite a lot of time flying at night over water and far from land, there isn't any VMC at night without a bright moon shining all the way down to the water.
It is rare to see lights at night on the surface far out from land and one or two does not help in orientation.

Cg in the right place + excessive AoA should always equal pitch-down and a consequent reduction in AoA. Naturally.
Nope. The trim held the trump card.
