One thing, I can't find any information to suggest that nitinol went back as far as 1932. The only thing I've discovered is that some research on shape memory alloys came from that time. But research on them does not mean they were available for use in aircraft. Is there more evidence that nitinol was really used then? Mike, this is interesting.
