Wow, I've never heard of this. Read the text below the pics!

Here an RAF pilot "tips" a Fieseler Fi 103 (V1) by flipping it's wingtip with his, thus knocking the flying bomb off-course. British pilots had to get far too close to shoot them down without being taken out by the explosion... thus the innovative technique evolved.

Where do you find such courage? That’s one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen. I had read about it, but I didn’t know photographs of it existed.

Yep. They gyroscopic guidance of the V1 couldn't handle being tipped like that. The Gloster Meteor was the first operational allied jet, and while it wasn't used in combat like the German Me262, it became the preferred medicine for anti-V1 work...the two became so associated with one another that some model kits were made including both...
