John Moses Browning's wet dream was the M2A1, think of his creation that is actually STILL is standard use all over the world, unlike the 1911 which is almost entirely regulated to fudds and Liberal Commissioned Officers too dumb to use an M9 or M17.
So some guy shot his pistol at a passing (heavily damaged) plane out of autistic rage at being shot down. Saw it crash (because it was heavily damaged, probably by turrets that have, look at that, a set of m2 brownings) and then told all his friends in POW camp that he shot down a Zero with a pistol.
Owen J. Baggett shot down a KI-43 Japanese fighter during WW2 while dangling from his 'chute after bailing out of his bomber. He used his 1911 pistol to do so.

And the M2 has a substantially more impressive kill list. Name a 1911 that has killed aircraft and destroyed vehicles.
