One of the most feared fighter pilots in History was Manfred von Richthofen who became known as the Red Baron. He had it's believed 80 confirmed victories in the air, and he was a skilled pilot who led what became known as 'The Flying Circus.' During the First World War, the Red Baron caused chaos with his aircraft and led to heavy losses, but he would fly one final journey in which he was shot down.
Previously the Red Baron had been recovering from an injury, and despite doctors telling him not to continue flying he defied the doctors orders. But whilst involved in a chase with a Sopwith Camel, the Red Baron was struck with anti-aircraft fire and he then crashed into the ground. He had been killed as soon as he was hit by the bullet. He was given a remarkable funeral however by the men who captured his aircraft.
