Red Baron
Scarlet German pilot
Red Baron was the nickname of Manfred von Richthofen, a German fighter pilot in World War I credited with eighty aerial victories—the war's highest-scoring ace.
The name came from his aristocratic title and his red-painted aircraft.
Red Baron now appears on frozen pizzas and in Snoopy's fantasies of aerial combat, where the beagle imagines his doghouse as a Sopwith Camel pursuing his nemesis.
