Hi CJ, Yeah, we're not really sure if this is Oesaus aircraft actually, just trying to find out more info about this interesting photo.
The image you attached however has been cropped from the original 'still' making it appear to be very close. The numeral "13 also seems to have been touched up or is for some reason a lot clearer than the original that I posted...
Please refer to the image at the start of this thread:

I am no expert on judging range but the distance seems to be at least 200 to 300 feet from the attacking aircraft, which is perhaps a long way out to some USAAF pilots! I have read that a lot of them preferred to get in as close as 50 feet. Perhaps someone with experience could estimate an approximate range here? (feet or meters)
Thanks for your input however,
Dan
