A painting by Merv Corning called “The Killer Camel,” which hangs in a hallway in 28th Bomb Wing Headquarters here. This painting, according to some experts, is historically inaccurate as it shows Capt. Roy Brown of Canada attacking the Red Baron while the famous Fokker triplane is in a banking manuever. Dr. Geoffrey Miller, M.D., said that if such a maneuver actually happened, it was probably a reflex action on the Baron’s part after a bullet struck him from the ground. Had the fatal shots originated from Captain Brown’s machine, the Baron, Doctor Miller said, would not have been able to pursue what would’ve been his 81st victory for a full minute before he crashed.
