If you've never heard of this
insane tactic ......... At first V1's were shot down by gunfire. Optimum range
was inside 200yds, which was marginal for survival. Many planes were damaged
and quite a few pilots killed. Basically at such high speed and low altitude a plane
had to fly though the explosion and hope.
With the high risk of being blown up some of the best pilots started tipping the V1's
wing, because of damage to wing tips they later developed a tactic of disrupting
the airflow by placing their wing very close to the V1's wing, causing it to topple.

Not every pilot did this. At night this was not possible, the flame from the V1 blinded
the pilot to everything else, though some Mossie pilots flew past closely in front of
the V1, again causing it to topple. The thought of doing this at 450mph, 4,000 feet
above the ground, at night and being blinded gives me the willies.
