DC-10s have been in deep enough stalls to wrinkle the ailerons and tear the elevator counterbalance horns off. Yeh, they flew home afterward.
Reminds me of the Australian designed Wirraway trainer (same basic design as the Harvard). A power on landing flap stall was indeed a vicious beast which caused aileron snatch and rapid wing drop. The control column would whip side to side and belt the pilot on the knees. Yeh, we also flew home afterwards..
