That's interesting, didn't know that. They had these half-tracks with quad 50s on them, and he just said they aimed straight up. Not a problem. I was a kid when he told me a few stories, and that they got strafed a few times and that was deadly. I was reminded of that later when watching Valkyrie and watching Tom Cruise get blown up:

It's even worse when the pilot doesn't pull up. That happened to his battalion too.
