It's a stunt, I guess.

  • 'serving in the Cuban Air Force Povey accidentally invented an aerobatic

    maneuver performing in the All-American Air Maneuvers in 1937. Povey; I was supposed to be doing a double snap roll on top of a loop. But my crate got going too fast to snap. I had to do something-so I laid the ship on her side and did a half roll at each end of a loop. Upon landing, the judges (including Jimmy Doolittle) asked Povey what that was supposed to be. He thought fast, responding, thats a Cuban Eight.

  • It's not a stunt - it's a basic military training manuver. Probably dates back to WWI.
