126ers - Secret Conversations-------P-51 shooting down an ME-262 in Spring 1945. Weather it was a P-51, P-38, or P-47, I don't know. If anyone has the background on this footage, I would love to hear about it.Out of all the WWII aerial footage I have watched, I've seen the same over and over, but this footage is new to me. If you've read up on tactics of WWII combat you'll see how this footage is especially extraordinary.0 - 0:17 It's impossible to say what happened before this, if they were already engaged, or the 262 was jumped, all we know is that the US fighter has the initial energy advantage. In the first 4-5 seconds it looks like they're pretty high so I think they were already engaged.0:18 - 0:30 This is prime footage showing the acceleration disadvantage early jets had compared to the prop driver aircraft. The only way the 262 can get away is by extending which you can see happening.0:31 - 0:43 As the 262 is extending even further away, you can see the right engine is hit which probably sealed his fate. This shot is phenomenal in my eyes. In all other guncam footage, the enemy was very close, but this distance? We know the US pilot was fucking good.0:44 - 0:55 All we know is the 262 extended away from gun range and the US pilots had to climb to regain energy for another attack as he's again diving on the 262 sending it flaming into the ground.The next segment is also interesting. People on YT seem to believe it is a Ta-152, which it is not. It's a 109 in my eyes, a late G variant due to the smaller fuselage, or a Kurfurst.
