Womenfly2 Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) Boelcke brought down by Archie? or another Manfred Von Richthofen, Brown vs. Aussie machine gun crews debut. What do you think? WF2 Edited June 9, 2009 by Womenfly2 Quote
shredward Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 About as likely as any of the Aussie glory-hounds claiming to have shot down MvR I'm going to start some popcorn... Quote
+Dej Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Boelcke brought down by Archie? or another Manfred Von Richthofen, Brown vs. Aussie machine gun crews debut. What do you think? WF2 From what I have read (and seen in BHaH) an archie hit on a machine wouldn't go unnoticed and I'd venture to think that nor would it have resulted in similar initial damage. However, if it was a very indirect hit then I imagine it could have caused the inital damage reported depending on how close Bohme's machine was to Boelcke's at the time. But, if there is nothing really striking about he impact it could have been either a collision or archie. So either the unnamed artillery man scribbling in Red Air Fighter, or Bohme and Richtofen could be wrong... equally, and we'll never know. Unless and until you bring in the propaganda agenda. GAWD! You're correct WF2. it IS another Brown vs. Aussie MCG Crews debate. Quote
