This is the official German photograph of the Baron Manfred von Richthofen,
better know as the "Red Baron'. Von Richtofen, Germany's highest ace,
with 80 kills, was himself shot down and died on April 21, 1918. He was
shot down by a Sopwith Camel flown by Captain A. Roy Brown, a 24 year old
Canadian aviator. An infantry unit also claimed they had shot Richtofen down.
