Description:
Fifty feet above the Somme River, time ran out on the life of Baron Manfred Von Richthofen, Germany's greatest Ace. Behind his red Fokker was Captain Roy Brown in a British-built Sopwith Camel. The Canadian was low on ammunition but began firing as soon as he was within range---and the treacherous Camel, the Supreme Allied dogfighter of World War I, claimed another victim.
