NTSB investigations: Continental 0-300 series

14 cases on aircraft whose registry engine model is Continental 0-300 series, where the defining event was Aerodynamic stall/spin. Aircraft are matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model, so older matches can be wrong.
