Rubbish
10 December 2010
A film of rubbish. Take the ending for example. It simply didn't happen that way. Brown has been thoroughly discredited as being the one who shot down the Red Baron. There is little doubt that Von Richthofen was was shot down by Australian ground troops. Brown attempted to take the credit and is held in contempt as a result. Just watch this film only if you are interested in WW1 aircraft. The rest is as I say just pure rubbish.

The end: Von Richthofen's guns had jammed. He could only fire short bursts of a few round at a time. He was chasing a Sopwith Camel piloted by a novice. Brown had fired a burst but some time before and had turned away. Von Richthofen disobeyed his hard and fast rule of never flying low over British lines. He ran into a torrent of machine gun and rifle fire. He suddenly pulled up and half landed and half crashed and died as an English soldier arrived on the scene.
