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.
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.
He was a WWI German pilot who shot down over 70 planes in WW1.

I believe Lance Hawker was his most famous shoot down.
No one. Von Richthofen was the top fighter pilot of WW1.
it is belived to be Roy Brown (a Canadian pilot) but has been proved wrong. we don't know for sure who shot him but it was one of the three Austrailian gunmen on the ground, know one knows for sure which one
He broke away from his jasta (squadron) to chase down a pone pilot over enimy lines, and ground troops shot him down
Roy brown shot down the red baron
Gary Powers was the pilot who was shot down.
No, Snowy Evans did not kill the Red Baron. The Red Baron, whose real name was Manfred von Richthofen, was a famous German fighter pilot during World War I. He was shot down and killed on April 21, 1918, likely by a combination of ground fire and the Australian pilot Arthur Roy Brown. Snowy Evans was an Australian pilot but was not directly involved in the Red Baron's death.
Manfred Von Richoften or also know as the red baron, he shot Dow 83 allied planes from 1916- and to 1918 when he got shot down by anit-aircraft fire. He was also ww1's best pilot, shooting down the most planes in the war.
Manfred von Richthofen is indeed the Red Baron. He is a famous German fighter pilot during World War one. He died in battle after being shot down. I hope this helps.
