re: a question that came to mind

I've seen similar footage, some of it pretty alarming. If I remember correctly, in some cases the attacking plane is forced to pass through the edges of a rising fireball.

Along a somewhat similar line, I remember some footage taken from inside the bomb-bay of [I think] a B-29. The doors open and directly below is another American bomber. When the bombs start to fall, one can see quite clearly that the bombs from the plane above go right through the wings of the bomber below. Nothing exploded immediately, but the wing was lost. I *think* that footage is in the BBC's old "World at War" series, narrated by Olivier. Terrific series for the time it was made (as I'm sure everyone knows, a whole lot of info about that war has come to light in the last few decades).

Hope you're feeling better!
