Cool. I wonder how many planes were shot down from a handgun...on land?

Likely none.
I doubt that picture is real. The story was that B24s were attacked by zeros. And one particularly cruel Zero pilot was shooting at and killing the US crewman parachuting from downed AC. Lt Bagget played dead and a jap flew up slowly by him, to see if he was really dead. Then he pulled out his 45 and fired at the pilot, presumably killing him, though apparently the “kill” was never verified.
