Col. Francis Gabreski maneuvers his P-47D to avoid overrunning his victim. Seconds later, the German pilot bails out of the burning Me-109 over Evreux, France. This July 5th, 1944, victory was Gabby's 28th, the highest score of any American in the European theater.

Rittmeister Manfred Freiherr von Richthofen, Kommandeur of Jasta 11(one of the four Jastas that comprised the newly designated Jagdegeschwader Nr. 1) banks his Albatros D.V s/n 4693/17 as his opponent of Royal Flying Corps No. 20 Squadron turns his F.E.2d into him on July 6, 1917. Moments later Von Richthofen, known as the Red Baron, was wounded by a single round fired by observer/gunner A.E. Woodbridge. The bullet grazed Von Richthofen’s scalp, rendering him temporarily unconscious. He came-to in a nearly vertical dive and managed to make an emergency landing behind his own lines. Out of action for 6 weeks, the Baron would never quite recover from his wound and suffered from headaches for the rest of his life.
