a aussie pilot of a Hudson over PNG was able to pulloff a immelmann maneuver while being chased by Zeros. .. or was it a "wing-over" ?? not sure of the details.
I remember of this story in some web site a long time ago.
The Hudson alone against a group of Zeros, include Saburo Sakai.
The pilot turn against Zeros making "wing-over" maneuver.
After 10 minutes finally the rear gunner is disable and the Zeros down the Hudson.

If I remember correctly Sakai wrote to Australian government after the war and recommend the pilot for a medal, but they never received.
