Your best bet would be a large yo-yo maneuver. Pull back on the stick and then move it to the right slightly, so that the plane rolls over and starts to fly a wide corkscrew loop, ending up with you flying straight and level again, but still behind the target..
By doing this, you are flying further than the target, which compensates for your faster speed and you should end up behind and below it, if the arc you fly is large enough.
Below is better on bombers as they tend to be less well defended from underneath. It can also work on fighters, if you are flying too fast and risking an overshoot. If a fighter is turning and you are faster, a yo-yo will keep you in trail of the target and prevent an overshoot.
