Red Baron

            
             Manfred von Richthofen otherwise known as the red Baron was well known throughout all the soldiers in World War I. The Red Baron was born on May 2, 1892 in Breslau Germany. Manfred died on April 21, 1918. He was 25 years old. All of the Germans called him der Rote Kampfflieger. This means the red battle flyer (says vonrichthofen.com). The French called him Le Petit rouge. This meant the same as the English nickname for him, The Red Baron.
             "Manfred Von Richthofen was a pilot in the days where airplanes were made of wood and fabric,"" says Briggsenterprises.com. What mainly got the Red in Red Baron was that he always flew a red airplane. One of Richthofen's later airplanes was the Fokker Dr. I or otherwise known as the triple Decker. This plane was called a triple Decker because of its very unique and maneuverable design. The plane had three wings and a one hundred and ten horsepower motor; this was a lot back than for an airplane. One of the only ways to take down this new and sleek design was to attack it from above. In fact this maneuver is part of how Manfred himself got shot down says Ezra Bowen author of Knights of the Air. The Red Baron killed twenty-one of his eighty victims in this machine. The other fifty-nine were all taken down in his normal aircraft.(the ordinary Biplane).
             Nobody really knows for sure who killed the Red Baron. Many have claimed to been the ones who killed him. Out of the many that think they might have actually killed the Red Baron only a select few actually had a chance to have actually killed him. According to www.anzecs.net their names are, Captain A. Roy Brown, Gunner Robert Buie, and Gunner Sergeant C.B. Potkins. .
             In the year 1916 Manfred von Richthofen had a very historic year because in April 24th, Richthofen shot down his first plane as a pilot for Germany. Then on September 1st At Oswald Bouclé's invitation, Richthofen reported for duty on the Western Front.
