I always thought of it as Coin trying to make Katniss believe that the Capitol/Snow is even more a monster than they thought. She made the hover craft bomb the children to make it look like the Capitol/Snow didn't care about it's /his own people if it meant him surviving. And to make it look like the rebels were even more the good guys, she sent in medics to help the injured children, not even bothering to tell them that they were bombing the children, which ended as we all already know, which would make Katniss hate Snow even more.

Personally, I don't think it was Snow's hovercraft. I think it was Coin trying to make the Capitol into more of a monster, but it is up to your interpretation of the novel.

I have three reasons for believing it was Coin.
One: Snow said to Katniss something long the lines of I thought we agreed to not ie to each other. He may have cheated his way to power through poison as expaied by Finnick but he has not flate out lied before. He told Katniss to convince him that she loved Peeta on the Victory Tour.
Two: No one else in the districts had enough support to be president. Coin knew that Katiss would not back her so she was an enemy. Katniss has not really been too stable in the last book. She ws slipping in the first two but she was out there in the third one. Coin knew this. That's why Peeta was sent to replace Leeg 2. I also think that she approved sending Prim to the front lines because Prim would be at the greastest risk. Prim was the one stable person that Katniss turned to.
Three: She wanted everyone in Panem to suppor her. Even the capitol citizens. What's the best way to do that? To mar the name of your enemy. A hovercraft with the capitol's sybmol would be a perfect disguise for that.
Coin was not what Pane needed but no one would argue with her sinceher troops were still fresh.
I think itwas usedwithout Beetee and Gale knowing. Gale might have done it if it didn't involve rebel medics. I don't know about Beetee...

I think the hovercraft was Snow's. Even though the tactic resembles Gale's plans he was discussing with Beetee, I see no reason why the Capitol couldn't have thought of something similar. They had multiple gamemakers that had figured how to make an exciting Hunger Games every year! Plus the Capitol obviously had no trouble killing children.

Or that might just be me hoping it wasn't Ditrict 13.

I think it was most likely Coin's for many reasons already stated. Though we can't know for sure, and that's part of the intrigue of it I guess. Though Coin seems more logical. To end war quickly rather then letting it drag on, to make Katniss believe that Snow is just as horrible of a human being as everyone says, to become the Mockingjay and so forth. There's so many reasons why Coin would do it, Snow really doesn't benefit from the deaths of those children beyond showing people what he can do with his power and show Katniss what he thinks of her, that life is expendable to him. Either one could have done it, but I still think it was Coin, but it's really up to the reader to come up with their own conclusions, I think all the evidence points to Coin but Snow saying it's Coin and all the coincidences pointing to her could easily be his way of getting himself off the hook and gaining Katniss's trust on the matter in hopes to bring her down.

I think that the hovercraft belonged to Coin for a lot of reasons. At this point in the book, Snow had lost a lot of power and District 13 was gaining it rapidly. Snow had also told Katniss that he wouldn't lie to her. After a detail like this, it was pretty obvious that it was Coin. Coin was probably trying to make Katniss believe that Snow had sent it even though she did. I had never liked Coin so I may be a little biased.
If I reread Mockingjay, I'll look over that scene again and come back and post a better detailed opinion. The one I'm using now comes from my memory of the book.

I have to say it was Coin's hovercraft. Earlier in the book before that accident, Coin's rebels where taking out the Peacekeepers and the Capitol's people. Snow wouldn't have the army of the Capitol rebel risk blowing up the place even if he knew Katniss was there is disguise. So my final answer is Coin's hovercraft sent down the little parachutes of destruction.
