Who shot down the Red Baron?

Brainy Blonde

The Red Baron: Rittmeister Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen May 2, 1892 - April 21, 1918 He followed the erratic path of the novice pilot until a single bullet, shot from behind him, passed diagonally through his chest. The shot is commonly believed to have come from Australian gunners on the ground, but might have also come from the guns of Canadian flier Arthur 'Roy' Brown who was coming to May's aid. Manfred von Richthofen crashed into a field alongside the road from Corbie to Bray. His body was recovered by British forces, and he was buried with full military honors. http://www.briggsenterprises.com/bluemax/ Jan 18 03, 11:47 AM

SNOOPY did it ! 'You remember that baron flying high in the sky When Snoopy shot him down with a gleam in his eye But that baron had leaped from his blood-red plane Just before it burst into a ball of flame Snoopy circled back to check his kill Saw the bloody red baron standing high on a hill etc............' http://ntl.matrix.com.br/pfilho/html/lyrics/r/return_of_the_red_baron.txt Jan 18 03, 5:06 PM

Or the more recognised version: After the turn of the century In the clear blue skies over Germany Came a roar and a thunder men had never heard Like the scream and the sound of a big war bird Up in the sky, a man in a plane Baron von Richthofen was his name Eighty men tried, and eighty men died Now they're buried together on the countryside Chorus: Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' out the score Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany In the nick of time, a hero arose A funny-looking dog with a big black nose He flew into the sky to seek revenge But the Baron shot him down--'Curses, foiled again!' CHORUS Now, Snoopy had sworn that he'd get that man So he asked the Great Pumpkin for a new battle plan He challenged the German to a real dogfight While the Baron was laughing, he got him in his sight That Bloody Red Baron was in a fix He'd tried everything, but he'd run out of tricks Snoopy fired once, and he fired twice And that Bloody Red Baron went spinning out of sight http://www.webfitz.com/lyrics/Lyrics/1967/321967.html Jan 18 03, 5:10 PM

Personally, it's a must for fans of Snoopy's alternate personality, the WWI Flying Ace. And quite possibly a must for any 'Peanuts' fans.
