I think I fell into a common mistake, so I want to get some clarification here. I do believe that in modern culture (and marketing hype) that any time a near vertical element is added to a vehicle and or spoiler of any type it gets labeled a "Gurney Flap".
This does not make it right, and certainly not historically correct as that phrase should be reserved for additions to wings, right?
