Do you mean Australian? Some say an Australian fired from the ground and hit the REd Baron as he was chasing an airplane. Capt. Roy Brown was credited with shooting down the Red Baron and he was Canadian.
Roy brown shot down the red baron
I believe Lance Hawker was his most famous shoot down.
No, Billy Bishop fought with the Red Baron but did not shoot him down. The Red Baron was shot down later, probably by Australian anti-aircraft gunners on the ground but possibly by RAF pilot Roy Brown, a Canadian, who was attacking the Red Baron.
yes he was and he was found that he shot down the red baron n france. there was no pictures or peices from him to prove it. im on a hunt to see if there acually was a picture anyway.

No one. Von Richthofen was the top fighter pilot of WW1.
A pilot was NOT the one who shot him down. He shot by ground fire. The fatal shots came from Australian soldiers of the 4th Machine Gun Battalion. Actually the shooter was Captin Roy Brown he made a huge dive towards the Red Baron and fired 2 deadly shots. From the angle it was rather possible that one of the shots struck the red baron, killing him, but the plane was perfectally fine.
The identity of the unknown rifleman who shot down the Red Baron, Manfred von Richthofen, remains debated among historians. The most widely accepted theory attributes the fatal shot to Australian pilot Arthur "Roy" Brown, who was leading a squadron in the area. However, some accounts suggest that the shot may have come from ground fire, possibly from a soldier named Cedric Popkin of the Australian Imperial Force. The exact details of the incident on April 21, 1918, are still shrouded in uncertainty.
