“The PBS documantary said it was a .303 round, and the Vickers machine
gun used by the Aussie anti-aircraft troops near where he died were .303. “
Even though I cringe every time I recommend a product produced by
The Socialist Network Funded By Tax Dollars (compelled from me and
millions of others)...
here’s the link to the website for the NOVA episode in question:
“Who Killed The Red Baron?”

Thanks! It’s worth noting that Brown’s bullets were also from a .303 Vickers, but the angle and timing confirm ground fire.
Why I love Freerepublic
“The PBS documentary said it was a .303 round”
It has been definetly established by this thread that
the German Ace was not killed by one of the four million .303 rounds in the hold of the Lusitania.
You know what the funny thing is? PBS could survive as a basic cable channel like A&E or Dicovery if they were cut loose from government funds. In a 500 channel universe where you can watch anything from porn to live Catholic mass, they would have no problem finding a niche. Heck, if PBS didn’t exist, NOVA would be on the Discovery Channel.
