I have not seen this posted but if so, sorry.
When observing groups of bombers being attacked I see a spinning shadow plane where one has just been destroyed. When the second plane of a formation is destroyed there are then two shadow planes spinning down to the ground.
I have seen this with dead fighters also but it alway is visible to me with Bombers.
