Vmcg vs pitch.

Good morning.

Vmcg varies with pitch angle & I think for certification is measured at 5°. What causes it to vary with pitch?
An example of an aircraft with massive Vmcg change is the B707 withup to 60kts, check Prestwick B707 crash, out board eng fail. Are there any other examples of aircraft, modern or not, with this "special" feature. And the recovery?
