After watching a YouTube video explaining how in certain conditions the left wing of a P51 could stall.I would be grateful if anyone has any knowledge if this was unique to the P51 or were all Laminor type wing profiles affected on single engined planes.The youtuber makes clear that using the aileron on the left wing causes the stall. I,m assuming an experienced pilot would have other means of correcting the left wing drop.I apologise for only using a screen shot of the video and not a link I have know idea how to add a YouTube video any suggestions would be welcome.

Hi,
I think your post is mixing several points.
First, the sad fatal accident that you post a reference to is AFAIK not yet finally attributed.
Secondly, there are other reports about that accident that are more detailed and list different features of the accident flight, but note the above comment.
Thirdly, you can research stall theory easily.
Finally, I expect some P-51 expert might help you with P-51 details, but generally, note that there are huge differences between different aircraft and their behaviour at
the stall and there are vastly different stall conditions.

Cheers
