How slow can a light aircraft go if pulling up heavily into a stall? Are they on...

Depends on the plane, but something like 40-50 mph isn't uncommon, even slower if there's a headwind (relative to the ground) or they have a STOL kit.

The WW2 Stork was like that - and I’m sure I’ve read of it flying backwards in a head wind, but can’t find that now.

The Collings Foundation of Stow, MA has (had?) one that they used to fly. I don't know if they still do though.
