Perhaps he was holding the camera upside down

I spoke to a German nightfighter pilot who shot a Lancaster with scrange musik, it exploded after he hit the bomb bay and the resulting explosion left 30 + holes in his 110. He only just made it home.

Maybe the 'kill' had ord?

there are simular photos of a nachjaegar DH.98 that killed a V-1 at almost too close range

I thought that was a contrail or something? I might've looked at it the wrong way...

Does anyone else see a slight smoke trail behind the P-47?

Doesnt the 47 have some sort of waste gate near the tail for the super charger thing? Maybe thats it....

Plus there is too much "up" in the explosion for it to be an air to air kill. Looks like a standard straffing/rocket run that hit something that went boom.

Hmm I doubt it, on other pictures it never showed that the P-47 left a smoke trail behind it during flight

Im guessing it's a radiator/oil hit from the blast!

I was noticing that trail too, I just figured it was exhaust or something, kind of like F4 Phantoms.
