North Vietnamese Air Force pilot Tran Hanh, flying a MiG-17 with the 921st Fighter Regiment, has the first "confirmed" (matches US records) aerial victory when he shot down a USAF F-105 Thunderchief on 04 April 1965. On that same date, a US Air Force pilot has an official "probable air to air victory" against that same flight of MiGs.

Yes.
Uhmm.....try it??
If you mean in WW2 most likely. That was his job as a pilot. He was shot down over Germany.
5 aerial victories/kills. Shoot down 5 aircraft or dirigibles but it did not require death of the enemy pilot; only destruction of the enemy aircraft.
I believe Lance Hawker was his most famous shoot down.
In order to achieve the title of ace, a fighter pilot must shoot down five or more enemy fighters
Shoot you Down was created in 1989.
The duration of Shoot Down is 1.42 hours.
During WWII, if any pilot saw his buddies hanging in their parachutes being shot at by enemy aircraft, the chances are he will shoot down that enemy plane and kill the pilot hanging in his parachute in retribution. Since dogfight warfare was all about the numbers of shooting down aircraft, most pilots feel unconfortable about killing parachuting enemy pilots but that's not to say it didn't happen.
No, but a Red Chinese MiG19 (J-6 version) shot down a Starfighter in 1965 after straying too close to their airspace, while conducting combat missions along the North Vietnamese coast.
Shoot Down was created on 2007-03-03.
