Actually all aircraft have had this ability -- it's called rudder
control and was absoltely necessary in WWII.  The degree at which they
could do this was limited by shape, air stream, etc.

Yes, today's 4th-generation fighters can point their noses in
directions other than the one they are flying, but only for very short
periods; you get the same effect by allowing "fixed-forward" weapons to
fire in the entire (F) arc.<br clear=all><hr>Get your FREE download of
