* *Interesting to speculate that BB was ditching evidence of a jammed Lewis...but why would he draw such unusual attention to himself? *He could have tossed his other drums and claimed "Whew--good thing it happened on me last reload!" If he was determined to perpetrate a fraud, he didn't need to do it THAT day. *He could just as easily have gone solo another time and returned with the same tale about the airdrome raid. *I gotta think there was some other reason--and not necessarily a good one, either!
Maybe he sold it for some good French Wine??

VBR,
