The Red Baron's Plane

Fokker Dr 1
This is a replica of the plane Manfred von Richthofen flew.
 It is not painted like his but rather like that of
Lt. Arthur Rahn.

The Dr 1 was considered a very agile fighter.  Lt. Rahn scored six victories in it.  Von Richthofen scored 19 of his last 21 victories in it.

Fokker Dr 1
I think I became aware of this aircraft through Charles Shultz's comic strip.  I don't remember seeing a picture of one there but I heard the name "Red Baron."
