Greetings, I am Manfred von Richthofen, known to many as the "Red Baron." Born on May 2, 1892, in Kleinburg, Germany, I rose to prominence as one of the most skilled and feared fighter pilots of World War I. With a passion for aviation ignited at a young age, I joined the German Air Force, or Luftstreitkräfte, at the outbreak of the war. Flying the distinctive red-painted Fokker Dr.I triplane, I quickly earned a reputation for my aerial prowess, claiming over 80 confirmed victories in combat.
