Looks like that rocket went right through a window. And can't help but to feel sorry for that poor dude who's chute got ripped away from his body; Enemy or not, horrible way to die.

It is the plane just before the scene where you see the chute. It seprates from the pilot about half second you see it come from the plane. If you pause and play it few times, you'll see it.

there is another vid somewhere of this same thing, a Japanese pilot opens his chute and his straps break.   chute goes one way, pilot goes the other.

Go to 00:12 ~ is that a HO about to happen? (stop at 0:14:00 and clearly see the nose of the AC)

Go to 04:14 ~  The two AC in front of him (friendly from the looks of smoke trailing the one of the left from firing guns) are getting dam close from getting shot up from direct fire and ricochets.

i think the Japanese had trains as well :)

at first I thought one of those planes was a 190, but on closer inspection it was a KI84

It looks like some of those guys got lucky to have survived the strafing run. I saw at least one got below mast head height on a small boat. Great example of target fixation and a really really late pull out.  :O

That's nothing that was recently declassified. Sounds like some companies
cheezey marketing ploy. All of it is bits of guncams and segments of actual
WWII government made documentaries. All avail for decades via the US
archives and available for purchase over the web for at least ten years.

There was a show on the Military Channel that did a segment on gun cam from WWII - Modern war.  They where showing a few image of P-47s over France and how the pilots will shot at anything that helps Germany, including cattle.  In this video from 03:00 to about 03:30 are all in Germany as they where viewing it on the show.  Two guys whee talking about it even made a remark how the pilot had to adjust his aiming but using the rudders.
