Von Rich- thofen was also transferred from Jasta 2 and given command of his own squadron, one that would in time become equally famous.

As his stature grew alongside his list of aerial victories, von Richthofen came to be known as The Red Baron as conse- quence of both his title and his preferred aircraft color – though in his home country, he was more often referred to as The Red . “The War-torn skies of Hiller Aviation Museum’s Dr. I the Western Front were dangerous, even to the squadron was one of several to have The Great War ended in , fully converted to the new triplane.
