Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen (May 1892 - April 1918), also widely known as The Red Baron, was a German fighter pilot during WWI. He became famous for his bravery but also the unmatched skill he had for flying with his Fokker DR. 1 Triple-Decker plane into combat. Von Richthofen painted his aircraft red and this combined with his title led to him being called "The Red Baron".
Being officially credited with 80 air combat victories, he was feared but also highly respected even by his enemies. The Red Baron was shot down and died near Amiens on April 21, 1918. He was regarded with great respect and received a full military funeral, conducted by the personell of No. 3 Squadron Aiustralian Flying Corps., Six of No. 2 Squadron officers served as pallbearers, and a Guard of Honor from the squadron's other ranks fired a salute.
