Although no photographs of Richthofen's tangential gunshot wound are known to exist, Medical illustrator David Peace's depiction, based on his personal experience with combat wounds and information furnished him by the author, reveals how a vertically-oriented (when viewed in profile) wound may have looked as it appeared to surgeons. This illustration graphically depicts the wound's severity beyond that of a mere graze. Normal scalp tension caused the wound to gape to a size of roughly 10 x 6 cmand expose enough of Richthofen's skull to reveal the Lamboid suture, visible here as a squiggly line at the extreme lower right aspect of the wound. Note some discolored scarring of the skull at center, which depicts the observed roughness/presumed bullet groove.

The wound as covered by the localized dressing. In this view the straps lay across the wide portion atop the dressing but they may have been integrated within it; known photographs do not depict this area in detail. In any event, though the wound is covered, the position of the dressing reveals the vertical orientation.

An average skull of a mid-twenties European male is superimposed atop Richthofen's profile, with average tissue depths presented. The bandage and thus wound orientation atop the Lamboid suture is evident.

"Top: Elevation of the bullet that struck Richthofen, travelling at 30 degrees above/below the horizontal. Note that if fired from below, the bullet must have passed through the lower port wing before striking the head. Below: Azimuth of the bullet that struck Richthofen, fired from eiter 10 or 4 o'clock. Either would have arrived from a blind spot. The dashed line indicates the bullet flight path is below - not through - the upper port wing."

Graphic depiction of the 6 JUly aerial battle. Rate of average altitude loss is dependent upon the time of the German attack and varies between accounts; thus, two are shown. Crosses mark Richthofen's estimated attack altitude and are plotted against each No. 20 Squadron altitude loss time frame, as well as Air Defense Officer Ltn. Hans Schröder's estimation of Richthofen's fall 15 minutes after the battle began. The roundel reveals that in both time frames No,10 Squadron triplanes arrived too late and too low to attack Richthofen before his wounded descent.

A modern aerial view of Richthofen's landing site in Comines, France. The 14th-century church Sint Medarduskerk is visible at upper right. La Montagne is lower right at the center of a highlighted circular area that depicts the 1 km radius within which Hans Schröder estimated the emergency landing field was located from his observation post. Points "a", "b" and "c" depict locations from which photos of Richthofen's downed Albatros were taken in 1917, "d" depicts the locations from which a view of the landing ground was taken in 2004, (underlying geographic image courtesy of Google Earth)
