excellent! As a note of interest, Manfred's Aunt immigrated to Ontario Canada, In Caledon. she lived just down from The Brampton Flying club on McLaughlin road which is open country. She donated a lot of Manfred's personal belonging's to the Flying club, including his flying gloves, knives' etc. used during the war and a beautiful oil paining of him. He was one handsome man. His artifacts can be seen in the Flying Club museum along with other World War 1 artifacts and many original WW1 flying planes that are used in movies etc. and are flown every summer. I watch them circle and fly overhead. A very beautiful sight now, I'm sure during the war to see them was not a beautiful sight.

that is cool. WWI pilots are an anomaly as during and before the actual war propaganda was just as hot and heavy as WWII, with accusations of German barbarity ranging from crucifying people to torturing cats. The pilots never got that rap for some reason, probably the novelty of flying and the aristocratic nature associated with it at the time. Thanks for the info though, I need to schedule a trip

@@thegadflygang5381 Actually the Canadians were the barbaric ones. German's nicknamed them, 'The Storm troopers' or Shock Troopers' due to their speed and agility. When troops were massing it was kept quiet that the Canadians would be there for the 'shock' element. Canadians killed every POW prisoner and were fierce about killing.

@@rosered103 I genuinely dont know much about the WWI misconduct outside of the English colonial troops in general had an awful rep for rape and misconduct. I cannot remember which specific books but in summary troops from Africa and the Middle East had cultural traditions in which after battle you claim wives and plunder, so the English and French pretty much let them run rampant. It was even worse in WWII with the rape of Italian and German women en masse. Emmit Tills father, Louis, was hung for the rape and murder of Italian women as the Allies used troops of color as a rear force to hold territories that were won while the main force advanced. The Rhine Death camps, the fire bombings of cultural centers and civilians in Dresden, Hamburg, Tokyo. Yeah there is so much we are never told that you will never find out unless you go to the archives and read first hand sources

He was truly my idol growing up and I struggled with the fact he was killed from stray infantry fire.... but looking back clearer now it seems like he was simply too good to be defeated by another pilot. His audacious low level flying resulted in a lucky Australian making a pot shot

People forget just how young Manfred was when he died, just 25 years old! After surviving 80 air, life and death struggles, he may have gotten a little too bold and broke his own rule about flying over enemy lines! It cost him his life! Most all good investigations into his death conclude was it was a ground shot that hit him. But we will always forgive him since he didn't kill Snoopy! "Merry Christmas my friend!".....😃

Even though I am British personally to me Manfred von Richthofen the legendary Red Baron is the greatest Fighter Pilot that ever lived and the Biggest Legend of them all. WW1 was a war that should never of happened in my opinion and as a patriotic British man, in history up to then Britain and Germany were always Allies and Friends, our British Royal family came from German Kings infact the Kaiser Wilhelm 2nd was Queen Victoria's grandson. Back to Manfred von Richthofen even though he killed many of my fellow countrymen, there was never a German fighter ace that was respected and honoured by his enemies in war. The Red Baron lives on not only by his fellow countrymen in Germany today but by all of us who are from the Allied nations that were from his former enemies. No other Pilot in war has more of a Legendary name as the Red Baron Manfred von Richthofen and lives on. 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🏴💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
