Manfed von Richthofen was the most famous German pilot of WWI, he was called the Red Baron because most of the planes he flew were painted red and he was a Frieherr. Frieherr was an heredity German title of nobility comparable to an English Lord or a French Count.
During WWI, Germans called him "der Rote Kampfflieger" which is roughly "the Red Fighter Pilot" however now he is referred to as "der Rote Baron" in Germany also.
Although the Red Baron is often associated with the Fokker Triplane for most of WWI, he flew biplane's. 20 of his 80 confirmed kills were in the either the F.1 or D.1 Triplanes. If 80 seems like a low number compared to WWII German aces (Hartman had 352 kills), it must be remembered that in WWI it only counted as a kill if the downed craft was verified by the German army - so any the planes that the Red Baron shot down over enemy territory didn't count.
