20mm cannon shells wreak havoc on Will Fish's P40, ripping it apart for the MG to ignite the fuel tanks causing a massive explosion raining flaming debris on the ground below. The Japanese pilot's celebration is short lived as Lester Hall hits the offending Zero hard causing it to slowly roll over and also go crashing to the ground below.
