Capt. Roy Brown is credited (by some) with shooting down Von Richthofen. However, there is strong evidence he was killed by Australian ground troops when he flew too low to the ground.

Bishop had one clear shot at von Richthofen but his gun jammed. After he cleared his gun, they had a dogfight but he never had another clean shot. Bishop claimed he put some holes in von Richthofen's plane but didn't bring it down. The .30 caliber machine guns slow firing machine guns used by planes in WWI required a lot of hits to take down a plane. The only quick way to bring down an opponent was a lucky shot hitting the pilot or a vital engine component.
