    April 20, 1918: Bloody Red Baron Shoots Down 79th and 80th Airplanes!

    A Brief History

    On April 20, 1918, Baron Manfred von Richtofen shot down the last enemy airplanes of his short but spectacular career.

    Digging Deeper

    The German aviator known as The Bloody Red Baron, just a few days short of his 26th birthday, lead the German fighter plane unit called The Flying Circus.  The actual name of Richtofen’s command was Jagdgeschwarder 1, which is not as catchy of a name.  The highest scoring ace of World War I, Richtofen was feared and respected by his French and British foes, whom he terrorized in his bright red Fokker Triplane.

    Richtofen was born in what is now Poland.  Young Manfred started the war in the obsolete branch of the service, the cavalry.  When it became quickly apparent that mounted men could not compete with machine guns, the cavalry became stuck in the trenches like everyone else, so Richtofen joined the flying corps to seek his adventure. Richtofen, known in Germany as The Red Battle Flyer, was also known by names such as Red Devil, The Red Knight, and Bubi.  Richtofen’s brother, Lothar, shot down 40 allied planes.  The Baron’s air to air combat career did not start until 1916 and lasted less than 2 years, making his achievements even more remarkable.

    Alas, Richtofen was not bulletproof and in 1917 he was wounded in battle, suffering a machine gun bulltet to the head. Although he recovered to fly again, the wound left its mark on him, leaving him with headaches and nausea every time he flew.  Perhaps the legacy of this wound led to his ultimate demise, but no one knows for sure.

    The day after his 80th and final kill, Richtofen was shot and wounded in combat and made an emergency landing behind allied lines, dying just as he was approached by Australian troops.  All he said was “kaput” which seems somehow appropriate, for he died right after saying that.  Richtofen’s death certificate was found in Poland in 2009!

    The circumstances of Richtofen’s death have been controversial, with the standard explanation being that he was shot down by Canadian “Roy” Brown flying a Sopwith Camel.  Richtofen suffered a single gunshot wound, which some researchers claim could not have been fired by Brown because of the angle at which the bullet entered Richtofen’s airplane and body.  That research claims that the fatal bullet was fired by an Australian soldier on the ground with his Vickers machine gun.  Despite competing theories, the analysis cited here is the usually accepted account of the Red Baron’s death.

    Buried with full military honors by the Australians, Richtofen’s body was taken to Germany in 1925 and given a state funeral and burial there.  Even the Nazi’s got into the act, and held their own grand ceremony years later.   During the Soviet occupation years, Richtofen’s tombstone was hit by numerous bullets fired at people trying to flee to the West!  In 1975, Richtofen received a new gravesite, this time in Wiesbaden.

    Although Richtofen is likely the most famous aerial Ace of all time, his total of 80 confirmed kills and perhaps 20 or more unconfirmed pales by comparison to Erich Hartmann, Germany’s #1 ace of World War II credited with 352 kills!

    Today, we remember Richtofen with Red Baron Pizza, and as the eternal foe of Snoopy (of the Peanuts comic strip).  Numerous books and movies have been produced as well, and the forever 25 years old flying knight will likely never be forgotten.

      The Red Baron was a talented man indeed. He took the idea of “being one with the plane” quite seriously in order to maneuver and dodge enemy fire. It is quite unfortunate that he did not have a bulletproof vest in order to protect himself. One false step could be the end in battle.

      He is by far one of the most incredible aces fought in any war. His piloting skills were outstanding and his plane also helped him win those fights because it had 3 wings, unlike the other planes that the allies had.

      Its crazy to think the turn of events that happened in order for him to enter the flying corps. He was clearly very good at what he did but I am curious as to how he survived a head shot wound? In addition why is he given so much credit when there is another pilot who shot down nearly quadruple the amount of planes? and why would the Australians give him a big burial ceremony. they were enemies after all!

      That’s lucky he lived from the first bullet, especially to the head. Most people are lucky to live from a bullet wound let alone one to the head. That’s quite a few kills in airplane. That is something to be proud of for being in the war.

      I know that we sort of have to–because his “successes” were so impressive–, but it’s a shame that his allegiance lay with Imperial Germany. That’s 80 of our allied planes (so at least 80 allied soldiers–I didn’t look up specifics) that this man shot down.

      His plane and his feared title are both iconic in the history of airplanes and flight. He was a deadly fighter pilot, as seen by his record of 80 kills. While he died a young and tragic death, his story is one that we keep on telling.

      Considering his age of 25 and amount of time in battle being only 2 years, Richtofen was a very successful pilot. Not only did he have 80 kills during this time, he also survived many battle wounds.

      This guy is remarkable, obviously killing people is not good but killing 80 in the time of battle during two years at his tender age of 25 is impressive. He also was able to take a gun shot wound that I do not understand how he survived. True legend but too bad he was on Germany’s side.

      Richtofen was such a successful pilot that I am sure s admired by many pilots today. He managed 80 kills in 2 years at the age of only 15? Really impressive! I wonder how many more he would have killed if he wasn’t killed at such a young age. The most interesting fact of all is that his death certificate was only found 7 years ago!

      The red Barron went down in history as a pilot in the war with 80 kills before being shot and dying at the young age of 25. I can’t believe he only flew for two years and killed that many during those two years. He was also extremely young at on 25 years old. Compared to the ultimate ace of Germany during World War II with 352 kills, the red barons 80 kills seem small.

      The Red Barron is a legend. There are many items and shows that the Red Barron have been in and on. The most famous item that the Red Barron was on a pizza brand. As a kid I would get them all the time and the pizza came with a cd where you could play a plane game as the Red Barron on the computer. 80 kills in 2 short years is amazing and at the age of 25 the pilot had a wild ride.

      It is amazing that Richtofen was able to survive a bullet to the head. Sometimes I think it is sad that we celebrate someone with a high kill ratio. It is just very taboo for me to see the glory in war. But Richtofen did create a legacy that we continue to use today.

    52. Christina Hickey on August 12, 2016 10:08 pm

      Richtofen was for sure a man that enjoyed flying and fighting in the air. With The Baren, he shot down forty enemy plans but sadly got shot in the head. After he recovered he could never fly the same way again, because he would feel sick when flying.

    53. Mark Baniewicz on August 13, 2016 12:16 am

      To get shot in the head and still continue to have such a successful career goes to show how much of a trooper the Red Baron was. He had to have a tremendous amount of skill at both shooting and being a pilot to score as many take-downs as he did. He is credited with 80 confirm take-downs and possibly up to 20 more undocumented victories shows he must have been a truly remarkable ace.

      It seems pointless to celebrate someone’s success in a huge loss. That would be like praising someone for hitting 10 home runs in the World Series but his team ends up losing. The plan was to win the war, not come up short. That may seem negative, but his incredible accomplishments were all for not.

      His 80 recorded kills might not seem like much today, but for only flying a couple years and not having the advances in guns and airplane machinery we have today or even in later wars this is quite the feat. He came back from being shot in the head and although he suffered from the injury he didn’t give up flying.

      I heard about the Red Baron for years. I’m glad the allies respected him and buried him with respect after he died.

      I had no idea that he was only 26! That is so young to have achieved so much.

      The only Red Baron I’ve heard of is the pizza I never heard of this guy before.
