In reality it was not very effective but you can see it being used here and in the film it takes out a couple of incoming planes:

my grandads ship had 15 inch guns firing shells weighing a ton,i think the yamato had 18 inch guns.end of an era for battleships but they dont half look impressive

Yeah 18 inch guns on Yamato, biggest guns ever mounted on a ship. The main guns
were so powerful that the anti aircraft turrets adjacent had to be cleared during firing otherwise the shock waves would kill the crew.

This is a scene from the movie "The Winter War", that shows the fighting side of the Finn's during '39. It's the first opening battle, and has some I-16s, and what I think is supposed to be a Po-2 but instead it's a monoplane. (You can watch the whole movie on YouTube in 19 segments.)

Great video's Bobby! Too bad though, that the engines of the Triplanes in the first one weren't reproduction Oberursel rotary engines. They'd have a lot more comparable sound to that of a Harley Davidson Motorcycle.
