I have heard about that but can't remember where. I also think that Stanford Tuck or Malan was blown out of the sky from an erupting bomb while they where taking off - only feet off the runway.
Furthermore, torpedo planes were also highly vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire, particularly the heavy anti-aircraft guns (such as the 5 inch DP) which fired into the water, creating water spouts to slap the torpedo planes.
By chance they discuss about the same think at Bombed from above
Nice link seesul, thanks! Some great photos there.
A British example...
Didn't the Japanese try "bombing" B24 formations with white phosphorus bombs?
I swear Ive seen a picture of a B24 over Truk Atoll with the WP streamers in the background.
YES - I believe during WW2 bombs were dropped on bombers from fighters (Luftwaffe). I know some of our other folks could provide accurate info on this. I do know during the GW1 an F-15E dropped a bomb on a Super Felon helicopter and the crew of the F-15 credited with a kill.
Yeah, the F-15E was actually able to designate the Frelon with it's LANTIRN pod, and hit the helicopter with an LGB. (BTW, wiki says it was an Mi 24, not an SF).
