Must concur with Judd and Weheka. The aircraft that Bobby G describes above bears little similarity to the C-47s that I flew fifty years ago. I invite Bobby G to explain precisely how - on the aircraft - the ailerons could be used to such high effect in regaining directional control after a swing.

As for differential power, this helps in the early stages before the tail is lifted but, IMHO, could land you in a lot of trouble later on. In our operation the PNF took control of the throttles early on, to ensure that the engines were not over-boosted, and then the PF took charge of them again.
