This Pilot Destroyed A Zero With 4 Pistol Shots — While Hanging In A Parachute

Why Second Lieutenant Owen Baggett fired his pistol at a Japanese fighter while hanging helpless in a parachute during WW2 — and what happened next shocked even enemy commanders. This World War 2 story reveals how four shots from a Colt M1911 changed one pilot's understanding of survival. March 31, 1943. Second Lieutenant Owen J. Baggett, copilot of a B-24 Liberator, 7th Bomb Group over Burma. His bomber was burning, crew bailing out, Japanese Ki-43 fighters strafing helpless parachutists. Baggett played dead, then drew his M1911 pistol when an enemy pilot opened his canopy twenty feet away. Four shots. One falling aircraft. Every law of physics said this was impossible. Military experts would later call it an unverifiable legend. They were all wrong. What Baggett discovered that morning over Pyinmana wasn't about luck. It was about making an impossible choice in a way that contradicted everything anyone thought possible. What happened during those four seconds — and what evidence emerged years later from an unexpected source — would challenge every assumption about aerial combat. But first, Baggett had to survive thirty months as a prisoner of war. This incident raised questions that took decades to answer. Could a man hanging in a parachute really down a fighter aircraft with a pistol? What did Japanese records reveal? The full story of what happened over Burma in 1943 continues to spark debate among military historians today. 🔔 Subscribe for more untold WW2 stories:    / @wwii-records   👍 Like this video if you learned something new 💬 Comment below: What other WW2 tactics should we cover? #worldwar2 #ww2history #ww2 #wwii #ww2records ⚠️ Disclaimer: This is entertainment storytelling based on WW2 events from internet sources.
