Richthofen was *not* Brown's first kill. If you can still update your
Christmas list ;-) ask for _Above the Trenches_ from Grub Street. It's
very well researched and shows victories that were attributed to
RFC/RNAS/RAF pilots at the time. I'll try to remember to type up Brown's
victory list when I get home and upload it to the mail list for you.
