The "Red Baron" flew both of a Fokker Dr.1 and an Albatros D.III during his career, he made 60 kills in the Albatros D III. This was the first of his planes to be painted red, and the one that earned him his name. During the latter part of his career he flew the red Fokker DR I triplane which was also painted red.

Why did the red baron fly a bright red plane?
So he wouldn't get shot at by his own troops during war.they killed lots of people it was red so the blood would blend inAnswer: Why was the Red Baron's plane Red?Manfred von Richthofen, aka "the Red Baron", painted his plane red as a way to show his bravery. He wanted to stand out and show his opponent that he was not afraid. The other pilots in Richthofen's squadron also painted their aircraft in bright colors. And since they moved their squadron quite often, his squadron became known as "The Flying Circus".Whereas the British regulations would not allow them to paint their aircraft in such bright colors.Answer: Who flew the Red Baron?This Question does not make sense. The Red Baron was a name given to the German pilot Baron Manfred von Richthofen. He flew several different aircraft during WW1, including a couple of Albatros fighters and at least 2 different Foker Dr.1 Triplanes.Richtofen form a flighting unit of several squadrons (Jadgstaffellen) to fight the enemy. Since the Germans were permitted to paint their planes any design after the obtain a certain rank or number of "Kills" the allied pilots called it a Flying Circus. The painting of planes was for identification in the air of each pilot.Richtofen selected red so that the enemy could see him but also partly for his Uhlan cavalry unit he was in at the beginning of the war. The unit's color was red. Richtofen transferred to the air service once he saw life in the cavalry against machine guns had a short life expectancy.
Why are most Fokker Dr1 Triplanes red?
Fokker Triplanes were NOT Red. That is totally un-realistic. The Fokker Dr.1 triplanes came off the assembly line painted in light Blue with the upper surfaced painted with a Green wash. The top looked streaked. (This was different from many of the other airplanes that had 3 color or 5 color Lozenge patterns painted on the wing.) The Red Baron only flew two airplanes in his career that was all RED. One was an Albatros D-III and one was the Fokker Dr-1 that he was shot down in. He flew other Fokker Triplanes: some had Red only on top wing and engine cowl. Some colors of Triplanes flown by other aces were painted all Medium Blue or White. Many had the tail painted with the squadron markings, such as Black/White stripes. The highest ranking ace at the time the Triplane was produced was Werner Voss. He received one of the first airplanes, almost a prototype. He flew a triplane with a replacement engine in a famous dogfight on 23 September 1917. In this battle, he single-handily fought 7 British SE-5, including one ace. Werner Voss painted a "smiley face" on the front cowling of his Triplane. The engine cowling had two holes just above the propellor opening. The holes had white painted around them to resemble eyes and some eyebrows were painted over them and the propellor opening had a mustache painted over it---all in white on the Green cowling. This "Smiley face" is seen in movies and other media on all Triplanes. It was never used by anyone EXCEPT Werner Voss's plane. The movie "Flyboys" was very inaccurate in showing all the Triplanes painted Red.
What is a wing chord of a Fokker DRi?
That is hard to answer as the Fokker Dr1 Triplane had 3 wings of different Length and Chord(which is the lenght of a section of the airfoil). Also the Upper wing had a large aileron that extended the chord and the length for a section of that wing. I found a chord dimension of 3 Feet 3 & 3/8 Inches. I think that is the middle wing. Length of each Wing. Upper Wing (with aileron) =23 Ft 7 In Middle Wing = 20 Ft 6 In Lower Wing = 18 Ft 9 In Tail- Horizontal, Width = 9 Ft 10 In Tail - Length(front to back) = 5 Ft 3 In
