Consolidated B-24 blasted by the Flak over Germany.
Interesting videos, thanks for posting!
That one with the B-24 that got hit over Germany are great, just too bad it was so short. 
It is strange that it broke up that way, maybe it was very powerfull Flack.

Excellent color guncams of P-47 attacking Bf-109 and others targets.

Probably the 88 hit the main beam, it caused a inmediate structural failure.
Yes, it also looks like the flak hit part ofthe feul tank.

Color P-51 guncam, atrafing german aerodrome.
That aircraft was struck by a bomb dropped from an aircraft flying above it.
No…it was hit from below, download the video from here and tell were is the bomb…in no place because was hit by Flak.
Pnazerknacker I looked at it again and it does look like a explosion from above. It has happend many time in the war and it may be true in this suttuation. I do not know whitch one is true.
Just look at it again Panzerknacker and you would see what I mean.
Henk
I have looked at it again as well and it does look like something hits it from above when you pause it?
Yes, that is how I also tried to see if it were hit by a bomb or from flak. If you look at the bottom of the film you will see the B-24 that got hit are dropping it’s own bombs.
Henk
Honestly , I have no idea what video are you looking…because in the B-24 is clearly visible the shell hit near the leading edge in the 0,8 seconds of the clip.
By the way…did you see any bomb.? :roll:
No news from David Layne…why I am not surprized…? :?
back to videos, P-51 engaging Junkers Ju-88.

I’m gonna’ throw in my 2 cents about the b-24.
it was hit probably hit from below. If you look closely you can see the some of the wing structure… on the top. If the explosion occured above the wing wouldn’t that have been wiped out? This isn’t very good evidence but is a plus for the theory of the wing getting hit on the bottom. :?
There was no bomb that went through the top of the wing. I’ve seen picture of events where that did happen to a b-17. There was no explosion, just a big hole. http://www.daveswarbirds.com/b-17/nose.htm (10th picture down) And this series of photos of a b-17 getting hit by a bomb on the tail wing http://www.daveswarbirds.com/b-17/tail3.htm The bombs did not explode. There was not enough fall time for the bomb to generate enough force to trip the detonator when it hit. So if there was no explosion, how could the fuel tank catch fire?
I didn’t see any flak in the vid. At all. If there was flak in the vid the plane could have been hit. But, there was none. Minus for the flak.
Maybe a bomb blew inside the plane dropping them? No. The explosion did not appear to do damage to the fuselage. Also, above the bombbay is an empty space.
what if the explosion was completely mechanical and occured inside the wings gas tank? The plane was over it’s target. It had to have used fuel to get there, right? that means empty space with explosive gas fumes.
fumes=explosion; liquid gas= fire
Watching it again I did see some bombs that looked like they hit the wing. They might be the ones you guys are talking about. They where behind the b-24 that exploded, not over.
Prediction,
No contest, big win for P-51
If you play the video There is a VERY visible CIRCULAR hole in and the fuel proyected Upwards.
Enough said.
