Was the Windtunnel the first clean air upright hoover made after the dial-a-matic? |

Indeed, Hoover sold the "bag-first" bypass design to Panasonic/Matsushita of Japan in the 1970's well before Matsushita bought Whirlpool's vacuum plant in 1991. For some reason, everyone was able to get on the "bypass bandwagon" by the late 1980's so maybe the patent was only good for about 20 years....
