Wow. I wonder what would cause the machine to snap up and over like that?!

Appears to be pilot error. If you look at the elevator position as the plane rolls to starboard, the elevators seem to be up indicating that the pilot is back on the stick.

Too much torque, too little control input?

I agree - it appears to be a textbook torque roll to me.

BTW, the film's backerds:

How about torque roll....It's the classic problem of low speed, high angle of attack, and a throttle up to go around....The P factor has taken over. And before you say "Gosh Steve I thought they torqued the other way", stop the action and look at the NAVY on the wing tip.... It's backwards!

Dude - we're like, readin' each others minds and stuff! Heh heh - my first clue was the right hand pattern of the landing a/c - maybe THAT was Dilbert's problem . . . :lol:

LOL! I've never had that happen before!!!!! Too weird! And you're right about the Dilbert thing....What a great series of cartoons. I picked up a CD the other day on e-bay that had over 100 old WW II Navy Dilbert cartoons....really interesting!
