Richthofen started flying as a pilot of two-seater observation planes. After he switched to single-seat fighters he flew several different types, including the Fokker Eindecker, an early monoplane, but he was credited with no victories flying the Eindecker. After joining the great German Ace Oswald Boelcke in Jasta 2, in one of the first fighter units ever formed, Richthofen began to score flying an Albatros D.II, powered by a 160 HP Mercedes D.III in-line six cylinder engine. This aircraft was gradually replaced by the Albatros D.III, powered by a Mercedes D.IIIa 170 HP inline, water-cooled engine. Richthofen scored most of his victories flying an Albatros D.III.
German aircraft manufacturer Fokker, inspired by the British Sopwith Triplane, produced the Fokker Dreidecker DrI. Richthofen's Flying Circus had two of these machines. Richthofen had one painted in his signature all-red paint scheme and flew it quite a bit in his late career, racking up his last twenty victories in the triplane. He was in the Dreidecker on his last flight. The powerplant of the DrI was a 110 HP Oberursel Ur.II 9 cylinder air-cooled rotary engine.

Was the barons war successful?
The Barons' War (1215-1217) in England was initially successful for the barons, who managed to force King John to agree to the Magna Carta in 1215, which aimed to limit the king's power and safeguard baronial rights. However, after John's death in 1216 and the subsequent intervention of Prince Louis of France, the barons’ cause faltered. Ultimately, the war ended with the defeat of the barons and the reaffirmation of royal authority, though the ideas embedded in the Magna Carta would later influence constitutional development. Thus, while it had short-term successes, the long-term outcomes were less favorable for the barons.
