How many kills did the red baron make in the dr-1 and albatros?
He had 63 kills. His most famous kill was when he threw a rock out of the window in his airplane and hit the other airplane's engine to bring it down. This was the first and only time that it has ever happened to him. The Red Baron will never be forgotten for that remarkable kill.For decades after World War I, some authors questioned whether Richthofen achieved 80 victories, insisting that his record was exaggerated for propaganda purposes. Some claimed that he took credit for aircraft downed by his squadron or wing.In fact, Richthofen's victories are better documented than those of most aces. A full list of the aircraft the Red Baron was credited with shooting down was published as early as 1958 - with documented RFC/RAF squadron details, aircraft serial numbers, and the identities of Allied airmen killed or captured - 73 of the 80 are listed as matching recorded British losses.A study conducted by British historian Norman Frankswith two colleagues, published in Under the Guns of the Red Baron in 1998, reached the same conclusion about the high degree of accuracy of Richthofen's claimed victories. There were also unconfirmed victories that, if true, could put his actual total as high as 100.AnswerThe Question was stated: How many People? There is a difference between people and airplanes. Some aircraft he shot down were 2-seaters. Whereas sometimes he shot down an aircraft but the crew survived. But the question didn't ask how many were killed.So my guess is that he shot down about 110 crewmembers.Manfred von Richthofen "The Red Baron" was credited with 80 confirmed victories in WWI. In addition, he is credited with 20 unconfirmed victories so he is credited with shooting down 100 planes. However, the actual number can never be known, in WWI arial combat there were often several planes in large dogfights and ground fire in addition, it is impossible to determine exactly who shot down who. For example, three people are credited with firing the shot that killed von Richthofen - a pilot and two different anti-air machine gunnersUnconfirmed means that the German army did not find the remains of the destroyed plane - all the planes shot down over enemy territory were unconfirmedHe was officially credited with downing 80 aircraft. However, he may have shot down more that was not confirmed. I also believe that some of those he was credited for may have been shot down by his wingman or subordinates. I think it was custom to give the commander creidt for some aircraft downed in a dogfight.

The Red Baron is in Snoopy's imaginary combat scene. The combat scene contains Snoopy flying his doghouse, trying not to get hit by the enemy plane (the Red Baron), and also Snoopy and your character in enemy territory (avoiding the searchlights). At the end, you find your Halloween costume, a mask, on a scarecrow near the farmhouse.
