Who shot down the Red Baron?
The Red Baron: Rittmeister Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen May 2, 1892 – April 21, 1918 He followed the erratic path of the novice pilot until a single bullet, shot from behind him, passed diagonally through his chest. The shot is commonly believed to have come from Australian gunners on the ground, but might have also come from the guns of Canadian flier Arthur ‘Roy’ Brown who was coming to May’s aid. Manfred von Richthofen crashed into a field alongside the road from Corbie to Bray. His body was recovered by British forces, and he was buried with full military honors. http://www.briggsenterprises.
