The Red Baron, a.k.a. Manfred Von Richthoven was WWI's top ace with 80 confirmed kills on Allied aircraft. He was shot down while behind the controls of his trademark red Fokker Triplane, although accounts vary as to who actually shot him down.
William "Snowy" Evans is believed by some to have killed the Red Baron, but he was not a pilot. He was an Australian gunner in the same machine gun battalion as Sergeant Popkin who also has his supporters as killer of the Red Baron. In Canada, fighter pilot Roy Brown is still believed to have fired the fatal shot, although it is generally agreed that the Red Baron was killed by ground fire.
He was hit by a single bullet in a dog fight over France on April 21 1918. He was able to land the plane before expiring from internal bleeding.
