for the dogfighting they have the photocameras connected to the same controls as the machine guns, so they can prove the "kill"

The USAAF also heavily armoured some 300 Bell P-63A Kingcobra's as part of a training programme.
These aircraft were then used as manned targets, being shot at with frangible bullets. A red light blinked when a hit was made.


ps, Frangible bullets, are bullets which break up on hitting a solid object, without penetrating
