- This footage shows USAAF fighters, some of which are from the 367th Fighter Group, attacking German aircraft and targets during World War II.
The 367th Fighter Group was known as the 'Dynamite Gang' during the war. It was the command unit of the 392nd, 393rd and 394th Fighter Squadron(s). The 133rd Airlift Group, Minnesota Air National Guard, traces its lineage to the wartime 367th Fighter Group.
I noticed the Army Air Core called the 109 ME not BF. Thanks for sharing this piece of history.
I'd love to see the original 16mm film clips. This appears to have been run through a dodgy projector, captured with a 1950 vintage video camera, then re-recorded a couple additional times on VHS in 1982. 😂
I note here many instances of what appear to be tracer rounds losing their tracer charge very shortly after firing. The now lightweight, fast-slowing, glowing bits depart from the bullets' flight paths, and are overtaken by the plane.

A couple of his machine gun barrels had melted,making the bullets drop as soon as they came out of the gun.
The very first video Looks more like they are attacking a HE-177 and not a HE-111H. The wing roots are too high up on the fuselage for it to be a HE-111 too.
That stuka siren gives me chills. My grandfather was a rear gunner shot dowown on a bombing run by junker just, body never recovered from the black forest. It's haunting to hear.
I've always thought about all those 50 cal rounds hitting the ground all around the countryside during dog fights... A story from the Pearl Harbor attack that was suppressed talked about how many folks died in Honolulu and Pearl City from our boys blazing away at japanese planes...
Japs maybe,during the attack only a few allied planes even got off the ground
Very good point. Also a lot of these films show .50 cal tracer ricocheting off ground targets straight up into the flight paths attacking planes- how many shot themselves down?
@ 1:57 i wonder if that's Walter Oeusau getting shot down?

Who ever said....sir we need cameras in the planes so when he pulls the trigger it records the carnage sir was a damn savage
No - it was to record damage & shown to cadet & new pilots for training purposes.
Interesting. The video shows a P-38 at the beginning, but the gun camera footage appears to be from P-51's.
And P-47s.
P-38's had no wing-mounted armament....and were very unforgiving.
There is NO 367th film here... they flew P-38s and none of them are that.
Perfect! I hate canned sound effects and I do especially hate music in these vids!
