    I have this clip and seen it many many times. typical winter-spring 1944 attack on a Lib by a Fw 190. 2 seconds of firing and that is about it, but the damge incurred was devastating. 3 series showing the Bf 110G-2 firing, which was just plain awful and he arced away before drawing his fire near and into the fuselage.

    Erich, what does the German text say for the information frame (at the start) 1000M and 100M? I know its something for meters.

    Bad news bears...
    "I had ten rockets on board, and as I wasn't particularly fond of head-on attacks, I salvoed the whole lot at him. The rockets didn't hit him but but they must have scared the bejesus out of him, for he did a steep turn to starboard... I let him have the full blast, all eight fifty-calibers. I had never seen an aircraft completely disintegrate in the air the way this Me-110 did..."
