108 years ago, MvR fell.

Here in Australia, it is late in the day of 21/4/2026.
The death of Manfred von Richthofen has been quite controversial over those years. Serious studies on this subject have determined that Sgt. Cedric Popkin from Australia, fired that fatal shot. Cedric was a marksman, and made a desperate effort to stop MvR in his tracks, firing over 100 bullets towards the plane, with only one of those connecting with Richthofen.
And the rest is history.
Yet another year passes since that significant day.

Regards, Alan.
