At about the 4:40 mark it looks like the guy was flying low enough to shoot into a bunker entrance.. amazing.

Great find! Thanks for sharing!

Interesting that none of those 109s fell apart after being hammered by eight .50 cals. Makes you wonder about the damage modeling.

Or the pilot's aim. Very few of the thousand of rounds fired in this film hit their aerial targets.  

What a rare treat to see color gun camera footage from WW2.

Try this one set to Iron Maiden's "Aces High" as a soundtrack.

Don't worry, it's unlikely that P-47s will again attack Messerschmitts.
