Some are not p38. Some of these videos have wing guns 3:43

I noticed the Army Air Core called the 109 ME not BF. Thanks for sharing this piece of history.

Does anyone know the base ratio of rounds per tracer? I am guessing 5-1 or 10-1. ?

@ 1:57 i wonder if that's Walter Oeusau getting shot down?

A very good spot. I've seen this clip before. Could well be him, beautiful countryside. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Oesau

That stuka siren gives me chills. My grandfather was a rear gunner shot dowown on a bombing run by junker just, body never recovered from the black forest. It's haunting to hear.

I'd love to see the original 16mm film clips. This appears to have been run through a dodgy projector, captured with a 1950 vintage video camera, then re-recorded a couple additional times on VHS in 1982. 😂 I note here many instances of what appear to be tracer rounds losing their tracer charge very shortly after firing. The now lightweight, fast-slowing, glowing bits depart from the bullets' flight paths, and are overtaken by the plane.

A couple of his machine gun barrels had melted,making the bullets drop as soon as they came out of the gun.

Who ever said....sir we need cameras in the planes so when he pulls the trigger it records the carnage sir was a damn savage

No - it was to record damage & shown to cadet & new pilots for training purposes.

Interesting. The video shows a P-38 at the beginning, but the gun camera footage appears to be from P-51's.

And P-47s.

P-38's had no wing-mounted armament....and were very unforgiving.

The very first video Looks more like they are attacking a HE-177 and not a HE-111H. The wing roots are too high up on the fuselage for it to be a HE-111 too.

I've always thought about all those 50 cal rounds hitting the ground all around the countryside during dog fights... A story from the Pearl Harbor attack that was suppressed talked about how many folks died in Honolulu and Pearl City from our boys blazing away at japanese planes...

Japs maybe,during the attack only a few allied planes even got off the ground

Very good point. Also a lot of these films show .50 cal tracer ricocheting off ground targets straight up into the flight paths attacking planes- how many shot themselves down?
