They flew the Heinkels upside down... I think Larry's suggestion was meant as a facetious remark.

Only partly! I'm a dumb-dumb when it comes to mechanical things and because of that I failed to notice the direction the pipes were pointed in. I never heard of that experimentation, which seems kind of far-fetched, but you have convinced me that it was for real. I think those pilots and their bosses were grasping at straws!

Thanks for the clarification - we are never too old to learn something new.
