The famous Red Baron
1st of September 1939: The Germans start war attacking Poland... It's not exactly reported if a German bomber (Heinkel He 111) or one of the escorting Messerschmitt Bf 110-attacking Warsaw, or a polish PZL p.11 or p.7 interceptor was shot down first... it's most likely it was either a He 111 or a PZL p.11 - only three p.7 were involved in the first clash... and apparently the German escorting Bf-110 weren't the first ones the polish airforce intercepted... To be honest, the notice above is just what I read somewhere some time ago. Other sources indicate that the first plane shot down was a PZL p.11c... but shot down by a German dive-bomber "Stuka", Junkers Ju 87... Vic
the British hawker hurricane, it shot down the most planes then any others in ww2. The p51 which was only good at long range and was used late in the war to escort US bombers
mostly the same weapons used today just a bit more primitive - bombs, rockets, machine guns, hand held firearms and the planes themselves used as weapons most unusual successful use of a weapon was an unarmed piper cub recon plane which the pilot used a 45 acp pistol to shoot down another recon plane the kamikaze planes of the Japanese which used the plane itself as a weapon rockets though not used extensively were used but they were not all that accurate
Hi, Well I know that the most famous German pilot, Genaral Adolph Galland that crashed but he didn't died in argentina. Actually he crashed and survived many times. What he did in Argentina was help Juan Peron to build up and train his air force. Galland liked the stay in Argentina ; but returned to Germany in 1955. He kept fying and fighthing and before he died ; he had 104 Victories. He died at the age of 83 in 1996. I hope this helps somehow... Good Luck!
for shooting down the most German planes and baloons,22 planes and 4 baloons
Most of the later French, British and German aircraft were very good. It is almost impossible to say who had better planes as so much depended on the pilot's skill and experience.
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.
If you mean in WW2 most likely. That was his job as a pilot. He was shot down over Germany.
Most planes have a pilot and a copilot.
An "ace" was an Allied pilot who shot down five or more enemy planes. The German equivalent was a "Kanone", but a German pilot had to shoot down ten or more to be considered a "Kanone". This was all the invention of newspaper writers. The Red Baron eventually ran his score up to 80 enemy planes destroyed. Most of his victims were two-seater recon planes. These were not necessarily easy targets, because the observer in the back seat had a machine gun to use in fighting off attacks from the rear. But they were generally slower and less maneuverable than single-seat fighter planes. A true dogfight was between single-seat fighter planes. One of the Baron's hard-fought victories came over British ace Lanoe Hawker, who had around 11 kills to his credit when he fell before the Baron's guns.
The US shot down the most planes because they were shooting down planes in a two front war. The Brits would come in second place. The Germans and Japs I believe were about equal in the amount they shot down.

On the side of the Allies there was Canadian Captain Arthur "Roy" Brown who flew Sopwith Camels and is most famous as being the likely pilot to have shot down Germany's Manfred von Richthofen, who was a famous pilot on the German side.
None, if he's lucky. There isn't an 'average' and most pilots never crash a plane.
There have been thousands of planes which have been shot down. Most of them probably didn't have a name at all, besides their model name.
The F-15 eagle has the most kills of enemies planes shot down than any other planes. No planes has never destroy the most planes like the F-15. The F-15 have shot down over 100 enemy aircraft with no versions of the F-15 destroyed at all.
