BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES
via email from Linda Wilson Heath, 12-10-10
Dear Mr. Cooper,
     I have just visited your website EarlyAviators.com and note the list of flyers whose names are listed on the Wright plaque. I see that one of them is A. Roy Brown of the Canadian flying corps (a distant relative of mine). I don't know if you are aware that Capt. Brown is the pilot credited with shooting down Manfred von Richthofen, the "Red Baron." I am writing as your website asks for information regarding flyers whose names are not linked on your site to other websites regarding them. There are a number of sites concerning Brown if you are interested.

Thank you.
