B-17 attacked by german fighters

Edit January 2011 - This footage can be found in the new Robert Forsyth book from Osprey (Who's title is, cleverly enough: "Luftwaffe Viermot Aces-1942-45); according to him, this head on attack was carried out by a Me/BF 110 with I/ZG26; the large black puffs are from the explosions of the 21cm Wgr rocket mortar that was fired before it closed to gun range. Thanks to nickmitsialis for the info.

I've found it on http://worldwartwo.free.fr/.

OK I found a snippet of this footage in the new Robert Forsyth book from Osprey (Who's title is, cleverly enough: "Luftwaffe Viermot Aces-1942-45); according to him, this head on attack was carried out by a Me/BF 110 with I/ZG26; the large black puffs are from the explosions of the 21cm Wgr rocket mortar that was fired before it closed to gun range.

@Junije1 Even reality is fake nowadays.

@madcitymcflyer Maybe; That snippet in the Forsyth book clearly showed at least one of the B17s having a chin turret; the caption mentioned that footage took place 'Summer of 1944'

@Doum92 Glad to help but all praise should go to Mr. Forsyth & his book.

@BuBzIeNYNY Germans are tenacious , smart men , and ww2 truly showed this. This coming from an American

@mitrooper those aren't bullet explosions or holes , those flashes come from a 20mm cannon . FUKK A GERMAN THO

Lol at the idiot that think this video is fake, this video is pretty well known...The flashes on the B-17 are bullet impacts and that's basically how it truly looks.
