"The Immelmen I think you fly straight up and spin allowing you to come out facing a different direction."
" That would be the Immelman manouver. It is neither an offensive nor a defensive manouver, but rather a high-thrust manouver that changed the plane´s bearing and increases the altitude. Especially useful for aircraft with low thrust. Modern fighter aircraft can broaden this manouvre by making a vertical climb, then use an aileron roll to complete a half-loop."
