Some pilots did do "stunting" and a few paid dearly for it. One incident comes to mind where a P-38 pilot attempted a loop at low altitude and impacted the airfield on the way down. In general however, it's probably a bit "Hollywood".

I wondered if it was maybe a bit Hollywood. I know a few pilots are on record as having done it but I wondered just how much.

I remember watching a history type channel that a Japanese fighter ace in a Zero performed an aerobatic display over an American airforce base that they had attacked.

Polish pilots from the 303rd did it during the Battle of Britain.

Interesting! Now I know Japanese fighter outfits tended to count kills as a group and rarely displayed personal kill markings. How was a victory roll or victory aerobatic display viewed in Japanese fighter pilot culture?

i remember reading a interview wit ha russian pilot who said that in his squad it was common to do a little show off for the ground when returning from a sucessfull mission, a barrel roll, a low alt pass over the field something like that.
he also said that it was prohibited after one pilot tried something in the likes of a loop and crashed. |
