Sounds like a news "tease" from one of the major networks. Get you to
tune in to find something you already know, or isn't as advertised. I
generally have a lot of respect for Nova (or was it Frontline??), so I
don't believe they'd do something like that. But who knows?

do not (and probably never will) know for sure. Personally I think the
ground pounder with a "silver bullet" probably made the shot.


If the fatal bullet truly had the path described in the show, it's difficult
to see how Brown could have shot down the Baron.

Could be a combination of both though. Brown damaged the DrI. badly enough
that it went down, but some ground gunner killed/mortally wounded Richthofen
before he could get the aircraft down or maneuver out of danger.
