Sort of. The B-52 crash at Fairchild was a simple accelerated stall, no
spin. It stalled at a near-90 degree bank angle and slid sideways into the
ground. Very tragic. There was a white paper written by a USAF major some
time afterward that examined the leadership and airmanship climate prior to
the crash that makes fascinating reading. I may even have an electronic
copy of it if anyone's interested.


Here's a URL to the case study:

A terrible tragedy.
