I read once about a procedure for backing up a B-17. Lock the right brake and run the right outer engine up to full power while idling the other three. That will pull the right wingtip forward, which has the effect of pushing the left wing backwards. Then idle the right outer, lock the left brake, relax the right brake and run the left outer up to full power. Repeat as necessary. Since it's pretty rough on the engines, this was usually only used when a plane missed the last turnoff and had to vacate the runway as soon as possible.
