The Davis wing was a high aspect ratio wing with a low angle of

Probably, but then, that's nothing out of the ordinary for you.

how can a wing's design decide that?...I'd think that only the
elevators could control the AOA?.

He obviously meant low angle-of-incidence (e.g: the acute
angle which the wing chord makes with the longitudinal axis
of the A/C). Angle-of-incidence can vary depending on the
wing design.
