@Bud Grimfield maybe they could make an interrupter like forward mounted machine guns that shoot through propellers safely. Ill have to look that up. Definitely would suck to find out my rear gunner got us killed. Im sure they are probably trained to always be aware of your aircraft tail wing just like soldiers on the ground being aware of not firing if a friendly soldier or civilians are in front of your field of fire. Human error im sure was a problem sometimes
@joehemmann1156

I don't know for sure, but it seems like the easiest engineering solution here would be to make the gun mount incapable of dropping to a flat enough angle to hit the tail. At that angle, it could also hit the wings of a biplane and would pose so much threat of a gunner tracking a target and then accidentally shooting his own airplane down that the greater firing arc just wouldn't be worth the risk.

At the time that credit was given to Captain Brown for the death of the Red Baron, the ballistics of the kill were not yet established. Since the guns on the Sopwith Camel flown by Captain Brown used the same caliber of bullet as what killed von Richthofen, and Captain Brown was a commissioned officer vs the Australian gunners being noncommissioned members, Captain Brown was given the credit. Basically it's a matter of "He's got a higher rank, lets give it to him to feed our egos." As a Canadian I'm proud that Captain Brown faced the Red Baron, but I respect the Aussies and know that they were the ones that took down the best Pilot of that war.

The allies did things like nailing metal plates on the back of their propellers, until near the end of the war - they caught up and developed a gun-propeller synchronization system themselves, like the Germans had.

Problem: Thumbnail plane is a much later Soviet YAK fighter. The USSR didn't exist as an official state until after WW1. Fighters made during WW2 almost always had their machine guns mounted in the wings, controlled by solenoids and few of them have interrupters like WW1 fighters that almost exclusively had nose-mounted armament.

I'm surprised no mention of machine guns or cannons being mounted to shoot through the propeller hub was not mentioned.

The American WW2 Grumman Avenger and Douglass Dauntless both had 2 .50 caliber machine guns in the nose, using synchronizers.

They waited until a guy named Anthony Fokker invented the synchronization gear, then they pulled the trigger to fire the gun.
