Might not be that hard to find out.
There is a list of The Red Baron's victories on Wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...von_Richthofen)

Also the shot-down aircraft looks like a sopwith 1 1/2 strutter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sopwith_1%C2%BD_Strutter)

Captions say filmed in 1917
so a bit of digging and a few leaps of faith might get someone onto the right lines.

And I agree it would be interesting to find out more about him and what happened to him.
