The Red Baron flew several different aircraft during his military career. He started off flying a 2-seater. The aircraft he scored most of his victories was the Albatros D-III and he flew several of these. One of them was the first aircraft he painted all red.

Later he received one of the first Fokker Dr.1 Triplanes(3 wings). He flew 4 or 5 of these. One was painted with Red nose and tail on a green plane. His latest one was painted all red.

Who kiled the red baron?

There has been a number of investigations over the last 20 years as well as countless books on "Who killed the Red Baron". Although A. Roy Brown claimed he had hit the Red Baron's plane and he went down as Brown turned to fly away and leave the scene, the Baron continued to chase Brown's friend, Lt. May for over a mile or more until ground fire from Australian infantry shot him down. There were several machine gunners and numerous individual solders on the ground that poured lead into the air trying to bring the Baron down. The Red Baron was killed by one round from a 303 caliber round that struck him on his right side, apparently hit his heart and exited slightly below his left nipple in his chest. The Baron managed to land the plane without crashing it, but died shortly after he touched down. No one can really ever prove who killed the Baron, but being that only ONE bullet hole was observed on the right side of his plane that lined up with the wound in his body, its quite possible that an individual rifleman in the Australian infantry brought down the Baron.
