Ok i bash metal for a liveing mainly P40s,a Bulkhead showed up at our workshop today it is out of a P36 the bulkhead behind the pilot.Now this is a fairly stirdy structure but man it has several good hits with 12.7.The question i am asking is what did it i know nothing about Japanese armemant.What aircraft carried what calibre.I would say the pilot may not have survived as it was a good deflection shot about 40 deg on the rear right and slightly above.He either then dived and the jap had another go from slightly lower or there was two of thr sods.I will try to get a number on this aircraft and a couple of picks if anyone is interested.
