Well Tony, you're story worked out ok, except for a few minor details.
1. The Germans didn't give credit for "driven Down". The enemy had to be destroyed or captured, as far as I know. There was no other category.
2. Brown obviously didn't write his combat report. It was witnessed by at least the General who made the recommendation, and if he saw Barker fall through more than one formation of Fokkers, who are we to say he didn't?
Were you there? I wasn't.
As for the 15,000 who didn't come forward and say it happened, how about just ONE who was there to come forward and say it didn't?
Just food for thought.
VBR,
