how did he die??

[redbaronesspilot]

@drk4tlf During the air battle over Somme river he was flying very low and he had been shot down by an australian foot soldier. There is a documentary film about his death (Death of the Red Baron).

I made a tiny tribute too... :P mine was super short though

[freakyflow]

My own thoughts are that The baron was close to his end ether way from the enemy plane or Ground AA but more likey from the enemy behind hm The baron himself told  his own pilots rules of the dogfight "never allow yourself to have a enemy on your tail" 2 always have alt above all else. if your near the ground you have 1 less place to move giving the enemy your next move Alot of the barons moves and rules are still used today

what a pity that he did not survive and the sweinhund goring did....and the kleines korporal for that matter!

[llandudnoboy]

Every bit the aristocratic German Officer Pilot except this one had more skill and prabably luck than the majority of them

He knew his time on earth was a short one, every pilot even Germany greatest Ace knew one day he would be shot down

Actually he was shot down but survived with minor head injuries

83 confirmed kills

The allies paid a fitting tribute with full military honours at his funeral

Few men become legendsTE Lawrence was one Von Richthofen most definately the other

Back when warriors had code of honor still. He is a legend not to be forgotten along with many from all sides who fought bravely. Thank you for sharing this excellent montage friend. 

[skypilot4201]

he was brought down they believe by anti aircraft gunner but the long dispute of who killed the red baron is due to the fact that they used the same cartridge... the british .303 both in the machine guns mounted on the aircraft that and by gunners on the ground they were unable to determine if he was shot from behind by captain brown or by the austailian aaa gunners either way Manfred von Richthofen was both a great fighter pilot and nobleman
