Red Baron Historical Study Notes:

Captain Roy Brown" 60" The D.VII easily won the German fighter competition in 1918 and was immediately assigned to Germany's premier fighter unit, JG 1, which was led by Hermann Gring in the wake of the Red Baron's death

Fokker Dr.I Aces World War I.   Aircraft of the Aces Vol. 40.
Franks. The most famous fighter type of World War I, the Fokker Dr.I proved formidable in the hands of the "Red Baron" Manfred von Richthofen and his famous JG I "Circus." This book tracks the combat careers of the aces who flew the Dr.I, including the great "Red Baron" whose death at the controls of a Dr.I came just prior to the type's succession by the superior Fokker D.VII. 96 pages, 90 B&W photographs, 40 color profiles and more. 7"x 9", softcover.

Horses Don't Fly.
A Memoir of World War I
Libby. From breaking wild horses in Colorado to fighting the Red Baron's squadrons in the skies over France, here, in his own words, is the true story of a forgotten American hero: the cowboy who became our first ace and the first pilot to fly the American colors over enemy lines - written in 1961 and never before published. His description of World War I combines a rattling good account of the air war over France with captivating and sometimes poignant depictions of wartime London, the sorrow for friends lost in combat, and the courage and camaraderie of the Royal Flying Corps. 274 pages, 6"x 9", hardcover.

Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron, whose total of 80 aerial victories was the highest score achieved by any World War I pilot.

Oswald Boelcke, German Ace.  "I am after all only a combat pilot, but Boelcke, he was a hero." - Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron.  40-victory ace Oswald Boelcke, the "father of the German fighter force" who became a pilot shortly before the outbreak of World War I, developed many of the air combat principles that are still taught today, and was killed while on a patrol with the Red Baron in 1916

German fighter aces of the first world war - young men such as Manfred von Richthofen (the Red Baron) and his brother Lothar, Karl Schfer, Oswald Boelcke, Max Immelmann, Adolf von Tutschek and Kurt Wolf - who became household names

Mother of Eagles, the War Diary of Baroness von Richthofen. Fischer. Baroness von Richthofen originally published My War Diary in 1937

Aviation Elite Units Jagdgeschwader Nr 1 World War I experiences of JG 1, the colorful and legendary unit respectfully dubbed "The Flying Circus" by its foes and from whose ranks emerged many of Germany's most successful airmen, including Ernst Udet, Werner Voss, Hermann Gring, and its first commander, the Red Baron himself, Manfred von Richthofen.

123 men brought down by Manfred von Richthofen, the "Red Baron," as he amassed 80 victories over Allied aircraft between September, 1916, and April, 1918

Ace "Wop" May:  Though noted as the pilot who led the Red Baron on his last merry chase, Wilfred "Wop" May was a pioneering aviator in Canada's hinterland. He delivered medical supplies and mail into the far North during the 1920s and '30s, flew aerial reconnaissance in the hunt for the "Mad Trapper," headed Observer School No. 2 during World War II, and helped open up the Canadian North to commercial air transport.

Manfred von Richthofen, the "ace of aces," managed 80 confirmed kills over World War I Europe, peaking during the "Red April" of 1917 when he racked up an incredible 22 victories. Then Britain's Sopwith Triplane appeared over the horizon, and suddenly the Red Baron was put to the ultimate test: gunsight-to-gunsight combat with a vastly superior aircraft.

In July of 1917, Manfred von Richthofen - the Red Baron - tangles with Sopwith Camels in the skies over Belgium.

Fokker DR1
Speed: 115 mph at sea level
Initial climb: 1200 feet/min at 60 mph
Power: 110 hp Oberusal Rotary
Weight: 1290 lbs loaded
Wing area:  200 sq ft

The Fokker Dr-1 Triplane was the most well known of the WW1 airplanes.  It was slow and difficult to fly yet it deadly in the hands of an experienced pilot.  This is the plane was flown by the famous Baron Manfred Von Richthofen.  One of the flight features of this airplane was that it was able to momentarily hang on its prop and shoot straight up into the belly of its enemies airplane.

the Sopwith Camel flown by Capt. Roy Brown when he chased Baron Manfred von Richthofen over the Somme on April 21, 1918 - the flight from which the famous "Red Baron" did not return.

The Camel was perhaps the best Allied fighter of WWI, successfully downing 1,924 aircraft in only 16 months of fighting. It was known for being extremely agile and for having a fast rate of climb, and perhaps most notably, the great Baron von Richthofen fell to the guns of a 209 Squadron RAF Camel flown by Canadian Roy Brown in 1918
