No, Billy Bishop fought with the Red Baron but did not shoot him down. The Red Baron was shot down later, probably by Australian anti-aircraft gunners on the ground but possibly by RAF pilot Roy Brown, a Canadian, who was attacking the Red Baron.
Captain A. Roy Brown shot down the Red Baron on Sunday, April 21, 1918.
it is not fully known whos planes he shot down but in total he shot down 90 + planes.
No one. Von Richthofen was the top fighter pilot of WW1.
I believe Lance Hawker was his most famous shoot down.
Roy brown shot down the red baron

Do you mean Australian? Some say an Australian fired from the ground and hit the REd Baron as he was chasing an airplane. Capt. Roy Brown was credited with shooting down the Red Baron and he was Canadian.
He was shot down by a bullet in his heart, apparently fired by a rifle on the ground.
He was a WWI German pilot who shot down over 70 planes in WW1.

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.

He broke away from his jasta (squadron) to chase down a pone pilot over enimy lines, and ground troops shot him down
Manfred von Richthofen is indeed the Red Baron. He is a famous German fighter pilot during World War one. He died in battle after being shot down. I hope this helps.
