Captain Arthur Roy Brown DSC and bar RNAS (23 December 1893 – 9 March 1944) was a Canadian World War I flying ace. The Royal Air Force officially credited Brown with shooting down Manfred von Richthofen, the "Red Baron", although later research has suggested that it is highly unlikely that Brown fired the bullet that caused the death of Von Richthofen. What is less well known, but perhaps much more impressive, is that Brown never lost a pilot in his flight in combat.

  • Captain Arthur Roy Brown DSC and bar RNAS (23 December 1893 – 9 March 1944) was a Canadian World War I flying ace. The Royal Air Force officially credited Brown with shooting down Manfred von Richthofen, the "Red Baron", although later research has suggested that it is highly unlikely that Brown fired the bullet that caused the death of Von Richthofen. What is less well known, but perhaps much more impressive, is that Brown never lost a pilot in his flight in combat. This was due largely to his demands for a "breaking in" period in which new pilots flew over the fights just to see how they worked.
  • Arthur Roy Brown war ein englischer Jagdflieger im Ersten Weltkrieg. Brown war an dem Luftkampf beteiligt, in welchem Manfred von Richthofen tödlich verwundet wurde. Lange Zeit galt er als der Besieger Richthofens, was sich aber durch neuere Forschung als irrtümlich erwiesen hat.
  • El Capitán Arthur Roy Brown fue un canadiense de la CVR en la Primera Guerra Mundial. En esta, dijo haberle disparado a Manfred von Richthofen, el "Barón Rojo", pero luego se descubrió que el disparo fue dirigido desde tierra, lo cual descarta la posibilidad que Brown le hubiera disparado satisfactoriamente.
  • Nel 1915 fu arruolato nel Royal Naval Air Service, terminato l'addestramento nell'Aprile del 1917 fu assegnato al IX Squadrone Navale, e dopo riassegnato all' XI Squadrone. Nell'autunno del 1917 ritornò al IX Squadrone, dove volò col Sopwith Camel, e nel Febbraio 1918 assunse il comando. Asso dell'aviazione, è ritenuto uno dei possibili abbattitori del Barone rosso.
