+1 jap planes were known to catch fire very quickly.
Compare that to the german guncams. Even 20mm rounds seem to have a hard time setting these b17 on fire.

Came across this on BBC iplayer, about the building of a Wellington in record time. Has some nice recollections from 'Wimpy' pilots towards the end - makes me wish our Welly was flyable!

First video some nice footage ..did anyone notice the guy in the parachute? Note the only time footage is rolling is when the gun trigger is pressed...sad

Number 2 video is about the battle of britian another nice put together film however most of the footage is after 1940 .. england doesn't have canals other then the thames and spitfires have no reason to shoot at there own boats or trains

but both videos were fun to watch thanks

I don't think he was shooting at him. I believe they could switch on the camera without pulling the trigger. I am not 100% sure on that though.

Yes the Japanese planes were tinderboxes thanks for reminding me.
