who killed the red baron?

it is unknown who specifically killed the Red Baron, however, he was killed by a ground soldier who shot him through his side.The soldier was British.

Most likely it was an Australian anti-aircraft gun crew but a RAF pilot, Capt Roy Brown is officially credited.

A search under "Red Baron" killed gives lots of credible sources.

A Canadian named Roy Brown shot down the Red Baron. Like Snoopy, he piloted a Sopwith Camel. (Why would you want to name a plane after a camel, anyway? LOL)

The RAF credited Brown with shooting down the Red Baron

it truly is better probable than no longer, that floor hearth managed to hit von Richthofen and produce him down. modern historic research, such as a very at the moment got here upon letter by Cedric Popkin (2000 or so) lean in route of the floor hearth idea. also, assorted simulations, and absolutely reconstructed flights with classic plane also help AAA. the biggest aspect militating antagonistic to an air/air kill is von Richthofen's wound. it would've led to almost on the spot choking and spasms-such that any pilot will be attempting to land. notwithstanding, von R's triplane change into seen flying for almost 5 minutes after this "engagement". in truth in Roy Brown's absolutely after action list, he basically comments he dove down "on a pink triplane and fired a burst AT IT". (my emphasis). He in no way reported he stated bullet strikes, or that he witnessed the plane pass down. (He affected by an attack of ulcers/dyspepsia and right this moment again domicile.Brown change right into a ill guy. the basically nutrition he could save down were brandy milk shakes. by the top of April he change into despatched domicile to Canada on publicity drives.) On a macro-aspect, what fairly killed von Richthofen change into his wound a number of months formerly. The physician-regular of the Luftwaffe reviewed his medical archives, and utilising criteria of the German Air provider in 1917-18 concluded his wound change into completely grounding (at present we would say, completely DNIF: duty no longer such as Flying). there is little question his complications and woozyness affected his judgement-and personality as attested by his pals.

Unknown, according to Wikipedia. It says it could have been an Anti-Aircraft gunner (someone firing a gun at his plane from the ground), but no one is certain.
