What? So was one person was flying and the other was leaning out the canopy with a weapon? I’m so confused.

That looks more like WW2 than WW1

I have seen a video were the guy leaning out the window is using a pump action 12g shotgun and nails the drone, so you could be on the mark

Ah, finally. A return to the gentlemanly era of aerial combat where pilots shot at each other with small arms from the plane ❤️

😲 What did they use to shoot it?

Usually it's a rear-seat gunner with a rifle.

other comments suggest a person in the rear seat with a shotgun playing aerial duck hunt
