HOPE THIS WORKS!    :uhoh

https://www.facebook.com/gordon.permann.1/videos/10157253589820058/

Is this the video you were going for?

I trimed the link to this.... https://www.facebook.com/gordon.permann.1/videos and found a blank page (so the "video not found error"). Going to the main page I clicked on his "photos" and found a video group. Clicked on it and found 2 videos. Right clicked on the second and copied "image location" and got the link below.

Either they waist gunners eat a lot of beans and need more ventilation or it's an engine test bed.  Looks like it might be a tail pipe below where the tail turret was.

Looks like he got rammed by one of our AH rammers.   

Here is the story behind it.

Did he get jumped from a unseen N1k2? Or was he dogfighting the Japanese ace?  I can't believe that aircraft made it back, due to the extreme loss of lift on one side.

Yes, they were on patrol for many days not seeing much of big fights until that day when VFM-113 got jumped.

I have to wonder if a photo got swapped.  That looks more like ground collision damage than gunfire damage, especially the elongated hole in the side of the fuselage with the paint scrape under the cockpit.

What would caused the elongated hole?

The wingtip of an airplane that ran into it.

The entire rear fuselage is broken lose, notice the frame seam that is opened just ahead of the star insignia.  Rear fuselage twisted, I would be surprised that it would have been able to fly with that damage.

Yep, I see that as a possible. Another possibility is air collision.  But also think if this, that elongated hole could have been from a 20 mm round just hitting at the right angle.   

Idk, but like you there could be a possible questioning that who ever took to photo and wrote about it could have exagrated some.
