| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes DPCM 104 Pfalz DIII | Parked | 12-Jan-17 15:53 |  | | Views : 706 | | In WW1 April 21, 1918, his guns were jammed, after trying to attack the Red Baron's cousin, in the middle of a dogfight, and he quickly dived out, but was chased by the Red Baron, who was trying to make May become his 81st kill. Roy Brown, May's squadron leader, came to the rescue. Here is a brief 5 minute animated short fim of this evocative acount. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53rRaeTMB_Y The Baron did not crash, but actually landed hi Tripe intact, while mortally shot, behind enemy lines, and then died. Today, it is mostly agreed that the trajectory of the bullet that killed the Baron came from the ground - the Aussie machine gunner in the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53rRaeTMB_Y |

These wer made from 0.050 soft solder and shrink-tubing. They were "manipulated" to fit into pre-drilled holes in the cylinder heads. |
