The Sopwith Camel....if you believe the Royal Flying Corps. Official credit went to a Canadian pilot, Capt Roy Brown in his Camel.

This question is hottly debated as to was it Brown or a Sgt in the Austrialian Army firing his vickers 30 cal machine gun, same gun used on the Camel.

Richtofen was flying low enough to land his all red Fokker Triplane, a plane that must be flown 100% of the time. The fatal wound Richtofen received killed him within a minute. Giving him enough to land somewhat controled and die shortly afterward in the cockpit as Austrialan soldiers came up to the plane on 4/21/1918.

What pilot probably shot down the Red Baron?

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.
