"Enough with the fleeting aircraft images from gun camera film."

There is a difference between footage taken in ideal conditions by one's own side and color footage taken in WWII combat by enemy combatants. In "Pt. 4" I believe the shot of the Fw-190A was taken "while under attack" by a camera mounted on a swivel on one of the waist gun ports of a B-17 (perhaps even shaken in the slipstream) making the 1 or 2 clear frames one the more remarkable film stills in combat history IMO.
