- 1946 February, Oliver Stewart, “London Letter”, in William B[ernard] Ziff [Sr.], editor, Flying, volume 38, number 2, Chicago, Ill.: Ziff-Davis Publishing Company, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 50, columns 2–3:
- The Meteor, Group Captain [Hugh Joseph] Wilson said, puts its nose up at the shock stall, so that had the aircraft become fully shock stalled during the record runs, the pilot would probably have been able to recover without hitting the sea. But at the speeds achieved—the fastest run recorded being 983 kilometers or 611 m.p.h.—only parts of the Meteor (for instance, the area over the wind screen) were shock stalled.
