The important thing, however, was to create a way to refuel, there had been a lot of experiments up to this point with aerial refueling, but there really was no way to modify a Cessna 172 to be refueled in midair. So they set up an extra tank that could be filled from a truck on the ground. When they needed to refuel, they would come down and fly very low and just above stall speed, then the truck came along and winched up a hose and then used a pump to transfer the fuel into the airplane. It really was a dramatic show of airmanship, because they had to do it at night sometimes and that required some precision flying.

Définition of stall
Origin :
- «place in a stable for animals,» Old English steall «place where cattle are kept, place, position,» from Proto-Germanic *stallaz (cf. Old Norse stallr «pedestal for idols, altar,» Old Frisian stal, Old High German stall «stand, place, stable, stall,» German Stall «stable,» Stelle «place»), earlier *stalnaz- or *stathlo-, from PIE root *stel- «to put, stand,» with derivatives referring to a standing object or place (cf. Greek stele «standing block, slab,» Latin stolidus «insensible, dull, brutish,» properly «unmovable»).
- The word passed into Romanic languages (cf. Italian stallo «place,» stalla «stable;» Old French estal «place, position, stand, stall,» French étal «butcher’s stall»). Several meanings, including that of «a stand for selling» (mid-13c., implied in stallage «tax levied for the privilege of erecting a stall at a market or fair»), are from (or influenced by) Old French estal. Meaning «partially enclosed seat in a choir» is attested from c.1400; that of «urinal in a men’s room» is from 1967.
