World War 1's Most Successful Fighter Ace: The Red Baron

Although Manfred von Richthofen, better known as the Red Baron, died during an aerial dogfight over a century ago during the First World War, we still remember his name today. Thanks to his incredible exploits during the war, his persona was immortalised. Yet this pilot found an early grave at the age of just 25.
