Its weird how he can shoot down a 109 easy breaking of wings and such and all a 109 can do to him is explode his fuel tank and send him crashing very slowly.
hey man...COS its ben affleck here aight!! no matter how many times i watch that film... the only thing i remember is how slutty that girl was.... they really need to remake another pearl harbour...seriously... the pearl harbour senario in AH is way more exiciting than watching this.
Happens in AH all the time....For all we know that 109 could of been out of 20mm ammo, and simply shooting with the bb's, 2 7.9mms shooting from the nose of a 109 straight to the body of a spit are too weak to rip any major pieces off without extended firing time, but strong enough to ignite the fuel tank if they hit in the right spot. So that scene isent as unbelievable as you think it is..
I know right, I mean who goes and does his best friends girl?! Then thinks when he finds out he's alive that he will take it lightly.Well of course it had to be more dramatic cause a movie star was in the seat.
One not televised to often "Mosquito Squadron" starred David MacCallum about a Canadian Squadron in WW2 on a somewhat suicidal Mission. Oz

My all time favorite,(Image removed from quote.)The Douglas Bader story.
'Black Thursday' ..ohh yaa .. would be an excellent movie (Schweinfurt Raid in October of '43)Any story of a fighter pilot .. Preddy, Hartmann, ..heck even a movie of Rudel and his Stuka would rock.-GE aka Frank
Think it'll be as good as Iron Eagle?
"look at me I am making a derogatory remark to the OP"
I have on my hard drive somewhere a link to (brief) info about the Tuskeegee Airmen providing escort to Mossies over Southern Germany in the latter part of the war. IIRC one of the units they likely covered was 60 Squadron of the South African Air Force, which in some ways may be the ultimate irony.
