Re: Charles Lindbergh's kill

Lindbergh shot down the Type 99 army reconnaissance plane (Ki 51A) flown by Capt. Saburo Shimada, commander of 73rd Independent (recon) Squadron. However, this happened only after several pilots had attacked the 'Sonia' and manuevered it into a favorable position for his attack. Damaged previously? Possibly.
