Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen (1892 – 1918), known in English as Baron von Richthofen or the Red Baron, was a WWI ace fighter pilot, officially credited with 80 air combat victories. As one of the most famous fighter pilots of all time, there has been significant interest and debate around the exact circumstances of his death.
