I was wondering, after he got on the backside of the power curve and
committed to flight, could he have recovered it by putting out more
flaps?


doubt it. reducing the Aoa slightly might have gotten him out of it if he
used a very deft touch doing it and he did it shortly after getting
airborne, but it's hard to tell if he ever had a chance without more data.
