Description: Still from camera gun footage shot from the North American Mustang of Squadron Leader J.A.F. MacLachlan, Commanding Officer of No. 132 Squadron RAF, when, during a sortie south of Paris with Flight Lieutenant A.G. Page, they shot down four training aircraft and two Junkers Ju 88s in ten minutes. This shows one of two Henschel Hs 126s claimed by MacLachlan falling in flames. 132 Squadron was equipped with the Supermarine Spitfire VB, but the pilots had borrowed the Mustangs for this "Ranger" sortie.
