This photograph is one of the first official film records of aerial combat on May 6, 1940. The photos were taken by the camera-guns fitted to Hurricanes and Spitfires. These cameras, which are loaded with 16 mm. film, are fitted in the wings alongside the guns and automatically register a record as the pilot puts his guns into action. When firing ceases, the picture ceases. Every time a picture is taken, therefore, the British fighter is actually firing at an enemy aircraft. If the records sometimes lack clarity due to cloud condensation on the lens, vibration and fumes from the exhaust of aircraft being attacked, they nevertheless provide certain evidence of the concentrated gunfire brought to bear by an eight-gun British fighter, the fire power of which is greater than that of the entire machine-gun strength of a 1914 brigade of infantry. These pictures have been enlarged from the cinematic records of several recent combat. The remarkable effect of the first bursts on a Messerschmitt 110. Both engines are on fire. The port engine is bursting into flames. The curling white streak marks the path of a tracer bullet.
