===== FACTOIDS =====
factoid: a briefly stated and usually trivial fact

Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen (2 May 1892 – 21 April 1918),
widely known as the Red Baron, was a German fighter pilot with the
Imperial German Army Air Service during World War I. He is considered
the ace-of-aces of that war, being officially credited with 80 air
combat victories, more than any other pilot.

Originally a cavalryman, Richthofen transferred to the Air Service in
1915, becoming one of the first members of Jasta 2 in 1916. He quickly
distinguished himself as a fighter pilot, and during 1917 became
leader of Jasta 11 and then the larger unit Jagdgeschwader 1 (better
known as the "Flying Circus"). By 1918 he was regarded as a national
hero in Germany, and was very well known by the other side.

Richthofen was shot down and killed near Amiens on 21 April 1918.
There has been considerable discussion and debate regarding aspects of
his career, especially the circumstances of his death. He remains very
possibly the most widely known fighter pilot of all time, and has been
the subject of many books and films.
