Ok - a few of you chaps already have this, but many of you won't - this is probably the best selection of Gun camera footage taken during WW2.
The majority of these clips were taken from Fw190 and Bf110 aircraft, their victims being B17s and B24s of the 8th airforce.
- and please take a moment to think about the poor guys at the wrong end of those guns.

Pretty amazing footage. No7 (it starts at 1:28 !) was scarey - I can only assume the rear gunners are dead as the pilot is able to stay behind the bomber peppering it relentlessly for about a minute without any resistance! Nearly collides with it at the end! Damn fine footage, everyone should see!
Truely awesome, how much time they have to line them up, and the other interesting shot is the fw190A7 going into a turning fight with the Thunderbolt.
Pretty impressive footage, yet i was slightly suprised that the cannon didn't take any wings off durning the footage.
I've got a few movies here where they just pull wings to pieces with that amount of fire.
