Harry Hawker and spin recovery
Anyone have any info not readily available on the net about Harry Hawker's spin recovery experiments in 1914. I know he was working for Tom Sopwith at the time and that he eventually suceeded in entering and recovering from a spin on about 14 June. Apparently he had been injured in a prang 4 days earlier - what was that all about? was it a deliberate or accidental spin? Any other info on the subject? - other than look for a second-hand copy of his biography "Hawker".
