Fairly certain this is the Vought 2B2U Vindicator from the US Navy in the 1930s to 1940s. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Hans Rudel was, by a huge and almost unbelievable amount, the single most successful combat pilot in human history. Rudel was credited with the destruction of 519 tanks, one battleship, one cruiser, 70 landing craft and 150 artillery emplacements. He claimed nine aerial victories and the destruction of more than 800 vehicles. And the fact he did all that, and survived the war in a freaking JU-87 Stuka! I can't imagine how not one allied pilot or ground gunner managed to shoot him down! The Stuka was a slow and easy target for even the worst model of fighter planes of the era! Luck? He was die hard about following proper, established combat doctrine. Never taking unnecessary chances or trying to do more than he could do. The Red Baron's success and Eric Hartman's success was totally due to that kind of doctrine. They always and only attacked with the proper tactics and would only open fire "when the enemy filled the windscreen." Hell Richthofen was actually not a very good pilot at all! Reading about him revealed the frustration he caused his instructors during training and how he always had trouble with landings or flying formation! Lol

A Russian IL-2 Sturmovic attack plane making a torpedo run on, I'm assuming an enemy warship. I was unaware that it was used like this. I'll have to look further into it!
