this is a repeat and was very interesting. I won't give it all away, but the man who got the kill may not have been Brown.

Well, that's right up there with "Japan Surrenders!"
These are worth watching for the recreations of the planes and dogfights, and the ground weapons in action.
If memory serves, the show sums up by figuring by the angle of the bullet wound, that he was killed from a shot from the ground by a Canadian soldier...

Australian is the way to go. I say the Australians did and do you guys have any idea how hard that is to say for a New Zealander!!!
Cheers.

ISTR that the current "agreed opinion" is a Canadian in the air and an Australian on the ground. It's diplomatic (although maybe not true) to say that neither could have done it alone...
Elmer season!
[Is there such a person?]what about the reports of a flying dog house in the area that day?
Wasn't that shot down?
