The Red Baron. Manfred von somthing or another. Yes. The Question is confusing WW2 and WW1. WW2 had many aces who reached and exceeded 80 enemy aircraft to their credit. The highest Ace of WW1 was Rittmeister Manfred Frieherr von Richthofen. He was a baron, thus the title of "Frieherr" and he previous unit he had served in was the 1st Regiment of Uhlans (or Lancers), thus his rank of "Rittmeister", or "riding master". Generally in WW1, German and Britsh who transferred into the air force would retain their uniform of their previous unit. Since Von Richthofen flew an Albatross D-III that was painted all RED, he was called "the Red Baron" by his enemy. Later he was shot down while flying an all-red Fokker Dr-1 triplane. Custermen Replace "Frieherr" with "Freiherr", then it's O.K.
