The meaning of the term has changed drastically somewhere along the line.  Now it means to invert and pull back half a loop.

Yes, that is the origin of the name from Max Immelmans maneuver in WWI.  However, that original maneuver is not the definition of an aerobatic, or ACM "Immelman" today.  

The original maneuver most resembles what is today called a hammerhead.

Nope that's a Split S

The modern meaning of the immelman is half loop and roll out at the top.

I always thought it was with the i as in "in" But as my grammar is rotten to the core I could be wrong!

Edit-
B@tfinkV has confused me further as he has used "in" but then uses the "ice" I :confused:
There are two "n"'s on the end to.   "Immelmann"

Immelmann
It's on Vox here!
