Spending too much time in old documents and spreadsheets - I made a graph some might find interesting.
Based on ORS reports on the examination of hundreds Spitfire gun camera results.
red = Spring 1942
blue = Summer 1944
Solid line is the percentage of combats
Broken line is the percentage of combats that resulted in a destroyed enemy (trend line)
Points connected by the thin line are the specific data points for the above trend line
So - for example:
250 yards mean closing range was 10% of combats in spring '42 and 20% of combats in summer '44.
At this range 12% of combats resulted in a kill in spring '42 - while in summer '44 this had risen to 48%.
