Freiherr Manfred von Richthofen; known among the Allies as "The Red Baron" or "Le Diable Rouge" (the red devil) died on April 21, 1918 in air combat with Canadian pilots Wilfred "Wop" May and Roy Brown. During this fight Richthofen was also being shot at by an Antiaircraft gun on the ground fired by Australian Sergeant Cedric Popkin. Richthofen was hit and fatally wounded by a bullet fired by either Brown or Popkin; he managed to land his plane and died a short time later.
