Squad of Rufe's at
Bougainville . These things were very nimble even with the damn
pontoons.

The
      A6M2-N float plane version of the Zero did extremely well,
      suffering only a small loss in its legendary maneuverability. Top speed
      was not affected, however, the aircraft's relatively light armament
      was a detriment.

Spitfire "tipping-off"
a V1. If you've never heard of this insane tactic
....

At first V1's were
shot down by gunfire. Optimum range was inside 200yds, which was marginal for
survival. Many planes were damaged and quite a few pilots killed. Basically
at such high speed and low altitude a plane had to fly though the
explosion and hope.

With the high risk of
being blown up some of the best pilots started tipping the V1's wing, because of
damage to wing tips they later developed a tactic of disrupting the aitflow by
placing their wing very close to the V1's wing, causing it to topple.

Not
every pilot did this. At night this was not possible, the flame from the V1
blinded the pilot to everything else, though some Mossie pilots flew past
closely in front of the V1, again causing it to topple. The thought of doing
this at 450mph, 4,000 feet above the ground, at night and being blinded gives me
the willies.
