Hmmmmm........  Let's think about these photos for a second.   Gun camera photos ???  I kinda doubt it.

If the P-40 had just shot the first plane (smoking in 1st photo) with the 2nd in frame, then how come both planes are still in the photos as the P-40 continues to close on them? Maybe the P-40 wasn't moving......... Naw, tha'ts not possible.  I also wonder why the 2nd plane had not flown out of the picture to the left.   All of this while the shot plane lost several hundred feet of altitude, hit the water, and destructed, while the P-40 continues to film it. 

Very interesting.....
