The Navy report concluded that he failed to "maintain an airspeed above the
stall speed" while he was turning.  My mistake was in taking that to mean
that he dropped the engine speed down to the point that it stalled.  The
more detailed stories seem to indicate that the turn rubbed off airspeed
that was not compensated for, resulting in the plane's lift - not the
engine - stalling.  The engine quit providing sufficient lift, which from
the pilot's perspective would have the same effect as the engine stopping.
