These films are the only ones in my library that when searched show up under "Great Shot".

I am doubtful they are a match to what I have seen, but for my shooting ability, they are "great".

two zeros chasing a green guy Tuck


Pull and begin very short bursts at high pull I didnt see the second one or even the first as they were inder my nose.


After hitting the first not knowing my rounds then impact the second a/c


So I see Ive dmgd one badly and the other has a fuel hit not bad.


one with the clipped wing is ahving a hard time and the other has burst into flames


a second angle of the same event as above.


The clipped wing a/c lost control and crashes soon after these shots I wasnt sure what had happened until after I watched the film.

Not at fancy as 2 in one pass, but here's a couple snapshots that were PK's that I've always liked.

Now I remember why I saved the Hurricane shot: I only had one bank of guns left with 20 rounds, only fired 10 rounds (quick burst) and hit a Pony going 400mph in a 90-degree deflection shot, which pilot killed him, just as he was pulling the trigger on a friendly.

Those kind of moments are fun.

I don't remember to save many of my sorties to film, but I do remember one recent sortie that I wish I had filmed.

I had just upped a P51 from a field and was on autoclimb out towards the north east. As I looked around I became aware of a pack of countrymen flying directly above the base and in my direction, and I heard some fuzz over the radio about some enemy so I looked closer.
There, deep into the weeds directly behind me there was a P47 running like a bat out of hell. So I kept my eyes on him as he started to go under me, tilted my plane slightly over to the right to keep my eyes on him and there he was zooming straight up to get me. The guys following him was too far back to get a shot at him, and I was really slow as I was still climbing.

So I kept my eyes on the 47 as he started to get almost in guns range for me, then I started a righthand turn, climbed as hard as I could, kicked the rudder whipping my tail straight up and was suddenly in a perfect position to shoot the P47 as he zoomed through my gunsight directly below me at very close range. So offcourse I pulled the trigger, and boom the P47 went..

Really wish I had saved that film, because that was just perfect in all ways possible. I remember someone complaining about the kill they had been after for so long so I almost feel a little bad for that. But on the other hand, not one of them gave me a check6 either so I was pretty much on my own, so I did what I had to do to stay alive. And I took the shot when it was served to me on a silverplate like that..    :old:

Not that great, but pretty funny.  Rocket splash damage.

That's awesome.  Looks like the first one hit.  :lol   

Shot down a whole set of high Lancs once, hanging on the prop in a TBM but can't find the film.  :(
