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.
