WWII P-47 Thunderbolt story
Ran across this, which unfortunately mixes so much unrelated footage, that it's somewhat hard to find the "real" stuff. Brazilian pilot Ramundo Canario, on a flight in Europe, took out 3 German tanks and was hit in the tail by flak, but kept at it, and went down for another run at over 450MPH when he sheared off most of the right wing on a smokestack. He managed to climb into the clouds, but was strafed and hit by Brit Spits who thought he was enemy. After getting out of that scrape he managed to land at an Allied airfield. He went on later to fly or Pan Am

About 2:25 the narration gets serious, tail feathers damage at 2:37
