Not one that I know. The Red Baron was actually shot down by an Aussie
machine gunner on the ground. I suppose everybody already knew that.

Not when the flick was made, they didn't.
The film dates 1971, well before the trajectories of the Aussie AA gunners
were calculated.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Richthofen_and_Brown for other errors
in the film.

Only in hindsight.

It is one of the better WWI flying movies, IMHO.
