Air Force member named Brown shot down Captain Richtofen, the famous German airman, thus contradicting Australia’s war history, which credits Australian Lewis gunners with the feat. The Air Ministry, the special representative of the Sun learns, is not likely to hold a court inquiry to settle the controversy. Both Brown and the Lewis gunners were firing simultaneously. Nothing more definite is known.
