SVA had a two engine out (on one side) on a 747SP years ago, departing JED bound for JFK...max weight, second engine 'failed' (actually, shut down in error by the idiot Flight Engineer, without saying anything to anyone) at about 1000agl, flaps/LED's retracted on speed schedule, and the aircraft began to climb at 'round about 200agl over the beach....very close, that one.
And...yes I knew the Captain...and the idiot Flight Engineer...and said F/E was lucky to remain out of jail....just.
Exit only visa for him, poste haste...(should have been shot on sight for his bone-head original actions).
You are unlikely to find this listed anywhere, all hushed up at the time.
707?
Yes, it will fly on two as well, WAT depending.
L1011, fly on one?
Yup, sure will, provided 210 knots can be achieved, clean, with reasonable ambient temperatures and mid-weights.
Skill required?
Yup, but not unreasonable.
RTFB and follow the plot promptly, for best results.

There...that should answer the original question.
