Just finished an article in Flight magazine from 2008. An observer and pilot of an artillery L4 Piper Club spotter plane shoot down a light German F. Storch spotter airplane in April of 1945. Both pilot and observ. fired several mags.. Shootdown occured almost over the armor battalion they were spotting for. The Storch landed and the pilot fled into the near by woods and was captured by soldiers from the armor bn.. Second occupant was wounded in the foot and stayed with the aircraft to be captured by the crew that shot him down. The Storch showed damage to the engine and cabin. One of the spotters still has the tail number off of the Storch that one of the soldiers cut out for him on the spot.
I would venture that this article answers the question of .45 ACP stopping power. Sorry I left the magazine in my car. I will get the month of issue and the authors name latter today.
Semper Fidelis,
