“Cobb aileron extensions, dual 50-cal interrupted guns, 14” whitewalls on 15-series tires and a open headers under a bodymatched 20-gauge steel cowling. I can land on a farm, grab the farmer’s daughter, then rip a sick pipesmoke cloud before the guy can even load his blunderbuss.”

One of the Canadian pilots who had a part to play in that final battle recently got recognized properly by the Toronto Star. Capt. Arthur Roy Brown has quite the backstory.

Interestingly, the current Freiherr von Richthofen was the German ambassador to the UK at one time.

Did Brown get him? Maybe. Evidence suggests ground fire. However:
Is Richthofen down that low over enemy lines if he doesn’t have two Camels on his tail?
By all accounts Brown had him dead to rights. Just because he may not have delivered the fatal blow is no slight on Brown. If the ground fire missed—if it WAS the ground fire—the end result would still most likely have been the same.
I’m easy with calling it a team effort
