As already cited, no Space Shuttle ever got out of control or close to it during reentry except STS-107.
The Space Shuttle is not designed for manual flight at all, it requires computers at all times, and CSS is not manual flight, but just manual guidances inputs. And during STS-2, this CSS was only used for short phases.
Perhaps there is a translation barrier when we say in America, "Manual Control"? I just assumed everyone understood there is no such thing in NASA space flight. Nasa space craft as far as I know, have been fly-by-wire. When I said Engle flew manually, I meant he removed the computers ability to follow the prescribed flight path. The computer was still enabled to maintain the attitude inputs from the pilot.
I'm pretty sure if you read "At the Edge of Space" or "Digital Apollo" you'll see where these authors claim the space shuttle not only on STS-2 but STS-1 as well, flew outside the prescribed reentry bank angle parameters. (Maybe this isn't almost out of control as I cited earlier but still outside flight parameters) I Don't know where I saw it (Please don't ask to cite) but I know I've seen a documentary with both John Young and Robert Crippen stating as much. Young I believe said, "It had his attention." Crippen said, "It scared the hell out of me." This also occurred on STS-2 as mentioned in the afore mentioned books.
