German Guncam footage

[CharlesBronson]

I have these gun cams, the Spit is caught by an Fw 190A-8

That was a high flying Fw, the Spitfire had a superior ceiling.

 

[Erich]

you cannot tell what alt the RAF fighter is flying. besides the 4 30mm's of the Me 262 would be central hits and the a/c would be flying at too high a speed to get that many pops on the spit before it overflew

 

[CharlesBronson]

I know, is just a feeling that I have. Note how the film tremble when the pilot pull the trigger, wich is consistently with a camera put in between the cannons, like the Me-262 layout.

Charlie or Erich:

Watch this video showing several guncamera shots...what plane is the one you can take a look in on minute 3:58/4:01, a twin engined plane getting hit; i do not think i can tell what plane is it. Does not seem German. What you think?

You mean this one Udet? I too can't figure out the dihedral of the aircraft. Looks kinda like an A-20, but not quite right.

 

[Udet]

Matt, that is correct., that´s the plane.

As i said it does not seem German...of course most of these films are not of sufficient quality to help you getting little details;still it seems pretty much obvious there are no Luftwaffe markings on the wings of this craft.

It got pretty well slammed as shown on the camera film and it went down.

Like you Matt, i also i thought of a USAAF medium bomber, but what type??

 

[deanberch]

The P47 footage is fantastic. Must have been a hellava dogfight.

looks like an A-26 invader to me

 

[comiso90]

the only rear view i could find

 

[lesofprimus]

Different tail....

 

[Udet]

So it seems we have interesting stuff here...if not a A-26, B-25 or B-26, then what the hell is it? A British medium bomber?

If we wonder about a potential German plane, you can dismiss off hand any of the zerstörern as well as all the medium bombers; not a Ju 52 transport either. Also from the color photos i have from Luftwaffe twin engined craft, this RLM pattern does not seem to fit with any German type, but as i said, that caption should have been enough to show the Luftwaffe crosses on both wings, but Erich should be the one to handle this department as well.

Material to beef up the "Aircraft Identification" thread.

I'm sure this isn't a A-26

it seems a Japanese Betty bomber, it has a tail gunner, see that the tail fin is and wide and round-shaped see also the huge width of the fuselage

 

[CharlesBronson]

Agree, is a Jap aircraft, that is because is a mixed guncams compilation.

 

[bigZ]

I thought it was a Betty too. I know its a sim but its close to the guncam image.

 

[tpikdave]

Japanese, you can see the meatballs if you look hard.

I love my 6mbps DSL even if I only get 5. I am 17,000ft from the CO.

i'm connected at 115.2Kbps..............

No such speed @dialup connections. 115 is an arbitrary speed set as a top limit at a time when commonplace broadband was non-existent. There is also no such thing as 56k ......52k is probably the max for dialup.

I hope you have access to broadband soon!
