We learned all about these maneuvers in the 1950-60s. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, Boeing manuals have since deleted what was then - and still is - vital handling information for flight crews.
The "inexplicable reason" is, I understand, input from Boeing lawyers as a reaction to Product Liability law. Lots of good stuff was removed from the B737-200 manuals in the 80s, not just what Centaurus describes, but also advice on (for example) landing with partial gear. I was flying the 737-200 at the time and was unimpressed by the deletion of useful advice.
