Red Baron. His name still comes up, by way of comparison, when the exploits of any combat pilot or daring flier are dis- cussed. He was Baron Manfred von Richthofen (1892–1918), the top German ace who shot down 80 Allied planes in World War I until he was killed in combat. He was called The Red Bar- on (and the Red Knight and the Bloody Red Baron) not because of his red hair, or because he was a bloody killer, but because he flew a bright red Fokker Triplane. See immelman. |
