Richthofen's 30th Lt. Richard P. Baker, a Canadian by birth, had limited flying time in a Spad when encountering Richthofen that day. Richthofen and his Staffel encountered the 19th Squadron near Givenchy on March twenty-fourth, close to noon on a very fine day. Along with this squadron were two French Spads, and Richthofen, who had never encountered this fighter until now. The Spad was a much quicker plane and extremely handy, having taken over for the plodding B.E. 2 since the end of 1916. According to the Baron's combat report, it was a long dog fight with the German Ace trying to get the upper hand. Eventually, he did it by putting a few rounds in No. A6706's fuel tank, causing the propeller to stop and the plane to go down. Baker had been wounded in the knee and was now descending into German territory when he landed behind German lines. Bake's plane came down and landed, overturning upside down in a shell hole. Lt. Baker was taken prisoner and repatriated at the end of 1918. 20” x 16” oil on panel. www.tomlapadula-aviationart.com real_tom.lapadula_aviation_art #baronvonrichthofen #theredbaron #manfredvonrichthofen #wwl #spad #militaryaviation #aviationart #biplane #theaviationart #theaviationartofficial #paintings #artwork #aviation #albatrosd.III
Richthofen's 29th The twenty first of March, 1917, was not good flying weather that only slightly improved in places in the afternoon. Reports had come in that despite the bad weather and strong wind there were numerous enemy planes seen at 1000 meters approaching the German lines. Richthofen decided to go up alone on a solo flight to see if he could bring down an artillery spotter. An hour later MvR spotted a formation of artillery spotting aircraft flying slightly below 1000 meters. The Baron half hidden by clouds surprised one of the B.E.2f’s and attacked at 600 meters. In his combat report Richthofen wrote.” The adversary made the mistake of flying in a straight line when he tried to evade me and was just a wink to long in my fire (500 shots). The B.E.2f, serial no., A3154 was from the 16 squadron and flown by Flight Sergeant Sidney H. Quicke and his observer 2nd Lt. William J. Lidsey, had been on its second patrol of the day. After taking Richthofen’s fire, the plane seemed to lose control and began smoking in a spiral descent. The B.E. 2f was a complete loss and both of its occupants were mortally wounded. The pilot dead at the site of the crash and the observer would die of his wounds a few days later. It is still in debate what aircraft Richthofen flew on this mission. Various sources mention him flying a Halberstadt, an Albatros D.III and Le Petite Rouge. 20” x 16” oil on panel. www.tomlapadula-aviationart.com real_tom.lapadula_aviation_art #baronvonrichthofen #theredbaron #manfredvonrichthofen #wwl #B.E.2f #militaryaviation #aviationart #biplane #theaviationart #theaviationartofficial #paintings #artwork #aviation #albatrosd.III
The Baron’s twenty-fifth victory came at midday on March 9, 1917. Roclincourt and Bailleul, Richthofen, and three other planes of his Jasta attacked several enemy aircraft. MvR singled out a British D.H.2 No. A2571 flown by Lt. Arthur J. Pearson of the 29th Squadron. After Richthofen fired a brief 100 rounds, Pearson’s planer soon caught fire and crashed and burned. The Baron could not obtain a war trophy as the plane was destroyed and too near the British lines. Lt. Arthur J. Pearson’s body was never found; his name is on the Memorial of the Missing in Arras, France. There is uncertainty regarding the plane that Richthofen was flying at the time of this victory. Le Petite Rouge may have been repaired by this time. It is also possible that he was still flying Albatros 1996/16, which was Lt. Edy Lubbert’s, who was still recovering from wounds. There is a possibility it could also have been Albatros 2006/16; we may never know.

Number twenty-three and the second victory of the day for Richthofen came about 6 hours later, this time over Acheville. This time, the Baron reported that he stayed on the tail of a Sopwith ½ Strutter, for quite a while, firing 400 shots. The Strutter, No. A/1108 of the 43rd squadron of the RFC, lost a wing when trying to evade Richthofen and hurtled downward. The unfortunate victims were 2nd Lt. John H Herbert and 2nd Lt Alexander W. Reid, 19 and 20 years old respectively. Even though parts of the Strutter were strewn all over Acheville the fabric with the serial number stabilizer was taken as souvenirs for Richthofen as well as the downed plane’s guns. Whether MVR was flying an Albatros D.lll, his Le Petite Rogue, or a Halberstadt is not determined. 20” x 16” oil on panel. www.tomlapadula-aviationart.com real_tom.lapadula_aviation_art #albatrosd.lll #baronvonrichthofen #theredbaron #manfredvonrichthofen #wwl #sopwith1/2strutter #militaryaviation #aviationart #biplane #theaviationart #theaviationartofficial #paintings #artwork #aviation #theaviationart_official #wwiaviationantiques
My 22nd out of all 80 Richthofen Victories With the weather being unfavorable for the rest of the month of February, it was not until March 4, 2017, that Richthofen struck again. North of Loos, Richthofen downed another British BE 2, No. 5785 on a fine March afternoon. His opponents this time were Lt. James B E Crosbee and Flight Sgt. J.E. Prance flying on a photo reconnaissance mission. Prance stated that, ‘he was attacked from right out of the sun’ by a very fast Halbastadt (Albatros). The German pilot fired a burst that hit Prance on the first go round. The second pass by the enemy shot away the extra ammo drums on the BE 2 and the third and final pass sent the British plane into slow ground headed spiral with holes in her fuel tank. After firing some 500 shots Richthofen for some reason did not pursue the stricken BE 2 and continue following but rather broke off the engagement. Crosbee was able to return to his base where Prance received medical aid. Again, was Richthofen’s claim seems to be made by mistake. As Richthofen acknowledge he did not see the plane crash and it seems his claim of downing the BE 2 was accepted. Also 500 shots were well above the capacity of a Halbastadt that carried a single gun. It does allow for the plane that Richthofen was flying in this engagement to be an was an Albatros which had a 1000-shot capacity. By this time the restrictions on flying the Albatros in combat had been rescinded. So even though it is on record that MvR flew Halbastadt’s for the month of march. The amount of ammo used in this victory says otherwise. 20” x 16” oil on panel. www.tomlapadula-aviationart.com real_tom.lapadula_aviation_art #albatrosd.lll #baronvonrichthofen #theredbaron #manfredvonrichthofen #wwl #be.2 #militaryaviation #aviationart #biplane #theaviationart #theaviationartofficial #paintings #artwork #aviation #theaviationart_official #wwiaviationantiques
Manfred von Richthofen’s 18th Victory. Richthofen flying a little after high noon West of Vimy attacked the commanding aircraft of an enemy formation. The FE. 2b no 6997 was piloted by Captain Oscar Greig who was with his observer Lieutenant John Eric MacLennan. MacLennan in a statement after the war indicated that they were jumped by Richthofen from behind. The Albatros with the red painted fuselage continued its pursuit, wounding the FE.2B pilot in the ankle and shooting up the engine, causing it to sputter and stop. The pilot was left with no choice but to try to land. MvR followed his enemy down. While the British plane made a safe landing and proceeded to burn their plane, Richthofen also landed due to a cracked wing on his Albatros. Richthofen originally stated that he landed due to an engine problem. More than likely it was stated as such to disguise a structure failure in the new model Albatros D.lll. While the British plane was on fire, Richthofen took the serial number off the tail of the British plane as a souvenir. The two British airmen explained their shock at being attacked but also remarked to Richthofen that his," red painted plane is not unknown to them, as when being asked who had brought them down, they answered: Le petite rouge.” 20" X16" oil on panel. www.tomlapadula-aviationart real_tom.lapadula_aviation_art #albatrosd.III #baronvonrichthofen #theredbaron #manfredvonrichthofen #wwl #FE.2b #militaryaviation #aviationart #biplane #theaviationart #theaviationartofficial #paintings #artwork #aviation
Richthofen's 16th Victory. The First Canadian pilot to fall under the guns of the Red Baron was Flight Lieutenant Allan Switzer Todd. As part of the Royal Naval Air Services, 8th Squadron, Todd was flying a Sopwith Pup, No. 5193 on January 4, 1917. Todd and his Squadron were sent to the Somme Front to counter the aggressive activity of the German Albatros aircraft. The British pilots attacked aggressively when Richthofen’s Jasta arrived on the scene. So much so that Todd \pilot \out the Red Baron and began his attack. Unfortunately, as Richthofen puts it,” the enemy plane was superior to ours. Only because we were three against one, we detected the enemy’s week points. I managed to get behind him and shoot him down.” Todd’s plane fell apart while falling through the sky, landing in the vicinity of Metz-en-Couture. Cause of death was either from gunshot wounds or crash trauma. Some valuables of Todd were collected by the Germans and returned. Over time his gravesite became lost due to the turmoil of war. Todd’s name is on the Arras Memorial to the Missing. Two days after shooting down Todd, Richthofen received a telegram from the Kaiser. It read simply: ‘His Majesty, the Kaiser, has awarded the Orden Pur le Merite to Leutnant von Richthofen’. The Orden Pur le Merite could be awarded to any military officer regardless of his branch of service, however its most famous recipients were German Pilots during the Great War. The medal was to be worn whenever the recipient was in uniform. Informally known as the Blue Max, it was supposedly given that name in honor of the German ace Max Immelman, who awarded the medal on the same day in 1916 as Otto Boelcke, Richthofen’s mentor. Originally given for 8 Aerial Victories the number was later raised to 16 in early 2017.It was awarded to Richthofen on January 12, 1917. It was Prussia’s highest Military award, and it was awarded to MvR for the successful confirmation of shooting down 16 enemy planes.

Richthofen received credit for downing the DH.2n No, 5985 as his 15th victim. This victory was collaborated by artillery men on the ground. According to Richthofen in a head-on firing pass he went head-to-head with the British plane. The DH.2 flown by James Thomas Byford McCudden did not crash behind British lines, as Richthofen noted in the day's Combat Report. McCudden observed the German Squadron and attacked. The German combat version states that the enemy was pushed back. The British combat version is very different. McCudden notes, “I fired around 15 shots and drove him (MvR) off. He turned and came towards me, firing. I opened fire at 100 yards and after about 8 shots my gun stopped due to cross feed. As the hostile machine was engaging me at close range. I turned on my back and dived vertically in a slow spin and in this way regained our lines.” McCudden cleared his jammed guns and renewed the chase but due to the Barons superior aircraft the British pilot was already outdistanced. Richthofen under the assumption that McCudden had crashed, renewed his squadron, by rejoining his patrol that then withdrew. Richthofen learned from his mentor Oswald Boelke not to pursue an enemy too low over unfriendly lines. Ground fire and antiaircraft fire were not the airman’s friends. A heavy presence of British AA batteries gave MvR the reason to leave the area and resume his Staffel; having seen McCudden dive, Richthofen could only assume he had shot the British pilot down. Sergeant McCudden who would live to fight another day survived aerial combat and achieved 57 aerial victories. He was decorated with the Victoria Cross, the DSO and Bar, the MC and Bar and was awarded the Croix de Guerre by the French. In the last summer of the war McCudden died in a flying accident when his plane had an engine stoppage and he side slipped into the ground. He was 21 years old.

The 14th in my series of 80 Richthofen Victories. It was fine flying weather on Wednesday December 20, 1916, when Richthofen and 4 planes of his Staffel encountered an English squadron. of encountered. At a quarter to 2 in the afternoon over Moreuil, MvR zeroed in and attacked the last plane. According to Richthofen’s combat report the British plane was an FE.2b No., A5446 piloted by a Lt Darcy and the observer was unknown due to the lack of an identification disc. At three thousand meters Richthofen began his attack and after his first pass the motor of the FE2b began to smoke and the observer was wounded. “The plane went down in large curves. I followed and fired at the closest range. I had also killed, as was ascertained later on the pilot. Finally, the plane crashed on the ground.” The pilot of the ill-fated FE. 2b was Lieutenant Lionel George D’Arcy, who had only been with the squadron for a little over two weeks. His plane was a gift of the Matalan People and it had written in block letters Malaya No.11 on its nacelle. D’Arcy’s unknown observer was identified as Sub-Lieutenant Reginald Cuthbert Whiteside, a volunteer reserve of the Nelson Battalion, Royal Naval Division. Neither graves nor the bodies of D’Arcy or Whiteside were ever found, and both are commemorated on the Memorial to the Missing in Arras, France. 20" x16" Oil on panel. www.tomlapadula-aviationart.com real_tom.lapadula_aviation_art #albatrosd.III #baronvonrichthofen #theredbaron #manfredvonrichthofen #wwl #FE.2b #militaryaviation #aviationart #biplane #theaviationart #theaviationartofficial #paintings #artwork #aviation

My 13th in my series depicting all 80 Manfred Von Richthofen victories. Like all Richthofen aerial victories, there was a beginning, a middle, and an end to number thirteen. While flying on or about 300 meters on December 20, 1916, MvR along with four fellow Germans attacked a DH2 squadron. Over Menchy, at about 11:30am, Richthofen singled out an adversary and pressed his attack. This unlucky victim was Captain Arthur Gerald Knight flying DH2 No. 7927, who at 21 years of age was a baby-faced experienced aviator with eight victories and a DSO (Distinguished Service Order awarded for meritorious service and MC, (the Military Cross for an act or acts of exemplary gallantry during active operations against the enemy), already to his credit. Richthofen after some curve fighting managed to press Hunt down to 1500 meters and keep on him until 1200 meters from the ground. When Richthofen fired his last shots, he was only a plane's length behind Knight. Finally British observers on the ground witnessed Knight’s plane corkscrewing in a dive east of Adinfer Wood, near Monchy-au-Bois. This was the actual location of the encounter and not Menchy. These mistakes in translation from German into English were common in respect to accuracy in bookkeeping, the fog of war or just plain clerical or translation errors. Even though Knight became Richthofen’s thirteenth victim, he was the only plane shot down that day, despite a good deal of the British squadron having been shot up. Richthofen more than likely was flying a dark colored maybe earth toned Albatros D.ll, it could have been Number 491/16 or 481/16 due to lack of corresponding notation or record keeping. What is known is that Capt. Knight’s craft was painted an olive drab tone with a light under wing color painted either nacelle fabric or white. Knight’s body was never returned to England, but lies in the Douchy-les-Ayette British Cemetery in France.

Tenth in my series of all 80 Richthofen victories. On November 20 at around 4:15, Richthofen scored his tenth. “Together with 4 planes I attacked a Vickers two-seater type above the clouds at 2500 meters alt. After 300 shots the adversary broke through clouds pursued by me, Near Grandcourt I shot him down.”7 The second plane MvR shot down that day was a FE.2b, No. 4848, piloted by @nd Lt. Gilbert Sudbury Hall and his Observer, 2nd Lt George Dougherty. Both men either died of wounds or crash trauma. Numerous times Richthofen and other pilots made mistakes in naming the aircraft they either encountered or killed due to the rigors of aerial combat and the fog of war.

Number 8 in my series of depicting all 80 of Richthofen's victories. Richthofen’s combat report stated that the weather was bright and clear on November 9, 1916, when he claimed his 8th victory. Over Beugny, his Staffel encountered an enemy bombing squadron at 10:30 in the morning. Flying an Albatros D.II 491/16, he singled out a BE.2c, No.2506 at 2500 meters. The British plane was flying without an observer in lieu of bombs. “Just short of the target I caught up with the last of the opponents” Richthofen wrote, also stating he burned him around the edges a bit. The BE.2c pilot 2nd Lt John Ian Gilmour Cameron, tried to land with his bombs. His speed in doing so in any case he decided to land with his bombs. The speed with which the wounded Cameron flew to reach the ground increased greatly, causing him to either crash or make a hard landing at Beugny. Cameron died of wounds in enemy hands 2 days later. 20"x 16" oil on panel. www.tomlapadula-aviationart.com real_tom.lapadula_aviation_art #albatrosd.II #baronvonrichthofen #manfredvonrichthofen #wwl #be.2c #militaryaviation #aviationart #biplane #theaviationart #theaviationartofficial #paintings #artwork #aviationart #airplane #planes #warbird #militaryhistory #fighteraircraft
The fifth image in my Richthofen series, Victory #5. Above Betincourt on Monday, October 16, along with 4 other planes flying at 2800 meters Richthofen claimed his fifth victim. After firing 350 shots the BE.12, No 6580, piloted by 2nd Lt. John Thompson “crashed to the ground smashed” near Yrtes. Lt. Thompson was killed either by gunshot wounds or crash trauma. For some time MvR’s fifth victim was originally thought to be Lt. E.W. Capper. It had been thought that Thompson borrowed some flying gear of Capper’s that was marked with the latter’s name. Leading Richthofen to misidentify the pilot. As souvenir Richthofen had the serial number 6580 cut from the plane’s stabilizer where it hung on the wall in Richthofen’s quarters in the Roucourt chateau, France.

My fourth in the series of Richthofen victories: Richthofen’s fourth victory according to his Combat Report: “was against a new type and not seen before two decked bi-plane.”The BE12 was a scout plane with a gun mounted on the port side of the plane. The weather conditions on October 7, 1916, were described as low clouds and strong winds-stormy all day. Richthofen’s Staffel attacked at 3000 meters. MvR singled out the BE. 12, # 6618 flown by Lt. William Cecil Fenwick, over Rancourt, France. Richthofen fired 400 rounds killing Fenwick with a head wound: the plane dashing downwards. The Baron took many souvenirs of his victories, usually manufacturing placards, guns, and squadron insignia. He even had silver schnapps cups engraved with each victory number. Aerial victories 1-60 were commemorated this way by MvR and would have continued to the end if not for silver shortages in Germany later in the war. 20” x 16” oil on panel. www.tomlapadula-aviationart.com real_tom.lapadula_aviation_art #manfredvonrichthofen #manfredvonrichthofenart # #manfredvonrichthofens #wwl #albatrosd.1 #BE.12 #aerialcombat #militaryaviationart #biplanes #warplanes

In speaking to the British airmen, who were the first, the first Richthofen had brought down and met.

The eleventh in my series on Richthofen's victories. The famous Richthofen-Hawker duel. Richthofen’s eleventh aerial victory was his most famous to date and elevated his reputation within the Deutsche Luftstreitkräfte or German Airforce. On 23 November 1916, MvR met Major Lanoe George Hawker in the sky over Bapaume, France. Hawker was already an ace with 9 victories and had won his nation’s highest honor the Victoria Cross. Richthofen immediately upon attacking realized that his enemy was in his words, …” keenly aware that I was not dealing with a beginner.” A sweeping curving battle brought both planes down to around 500 meters. At what seemed a propitious moment, Maj, Hawker made a break Southward for his own lines.7 Richthofen gave chase after Hawker who was zigzagging left and right, while MvR’s two Spandau machine guns blazed until they both jammed. Now on the chase the German Ace flew with one hand on his control stick and the other trying to unjam his guns by banging a small hammer on them, that he carried just for this purpose. The two airplanes went lower and lower as Richthofen fought,” the most difficult battle … that I experienced so far…”8 Hawker dropped down to about 150 meters when suddenly one of Richthofen’s guns cleared and he fired hitting Hawker in the head. His plane dropped and to the ground. Hawker was buried on the spot about 250m east of Luisenhof Ferme, just south of Bapaume along the road to Flers. Richthofen removed the serial number from Hawker’s rudder as well as his machine gun and as an ornament for the entrance of his dwelling. www.tomlapadula-aviationart.com #richthofen #baronvonrichthofen #manfredvonrichthofen #albatrosd.ll #FE.2b #wwl #militaryaviation #aviationart #biplanes
The tenth sketch in my Richthofen series. The second victory of the day, on November 20 took place at 16:15, Richthofen scored his tenth. “Together with 4 planes I attacked a Vickers two-seater type above the clouds at 2500 meters alt.

Gilbert Sudbury Hall and his Observer, 2nd Lt George Dougherty. Both men either died of wounds or crash trauma. Numerous times Richthofen and other pilots made mistakes in naming the aircraft they either encountered or killed due to the rigors of aerial combat and the fog of war. www.tomlapadula-aviationart.com #richthofen #baronvonrichthofen #manfredvonrichthofen #albatrosd.ll #FE.2b #wwl #militaryaviation #aviationart #biplanes
The ninth sketch in my series of all 80 Richthofen victories. Monday, 20 November 1916, was a good day for Richthofen he scored two victories. The first at 0940, during morning patrol, he and his Staffel attacked a British squadron at 1800 meters. “After having harassed a Be. 2c, No2767for a time, the plane disappeared in the clouds and then crashed to the ground between the trenches south of Grandcourt.’ This is one of the MvR’s victories that is still debated. The Royal Flying Corps only identifies one plane lost in this action and both Richthofen and the Jasta2 Staffelfurher ObLt. Stefan Kirmaier stated they each shot down a Be.2c aircraft. There is evidence that Kirmaier may have been the actual victor, for both he and Richthofen claimed victories within ten minutes of each other two miles of each other. It is unknown if MvR lost the Be.2c in the clouds and presumed he had downed it having later seen it on the ground. Both Richthofen and Kirmaier were awarded victories in this action. www.tomlapadula-aviationart.com #richthofen #baronvonrichthofen #manfredvonrichthofen #albatrosd.ll #FE.2b #wwl #militaryaviation #aviationart #biplanes

For some time MvR’s fifth victim was originally thought to be Lt. E.W. Capper. It had been thought that Thompson borrowed some flying gear of Capper’s that was marked with the latter’s name. Leading Richthofen to misidentify the pilot. As souvenir Richthofen had the serial number 6580 cut from the plane’s stabilizer where it hung on the wall in Richthofen’s quarters in the Roucourt chateau, France. Oil on panel, 20"x16.

Richtofen's 8th victory: On November 9, 1916, over Beugny, he encountered an enemy bombing squadron at 10:30 in the morning. Flying an Albatros D.II 491/16, Richthofen singled out a BE.2c, No.2506 at 2500 meters. The British plane was flying without an observer in lieu of bombs. “Just short of the target I caught up with the last of the opponents” Richthofen wrote, also stating he burned him around the edges a bit. The BE.2c pilot 2nd Lt John Ian Gilmour Cameron, tried to land with his bombs. His speed in doing so in any case he decided to land with his bombs. The speed with which the wounded Cameron flew to reach the ground increased greatly, causing him to either crash or make a hard landing at Beugny. Cameron died of wounds in enemy hands 2 days later.

My seventh sketch in my Richthofen series of all 80 aerial victories: November 3,1916 was a misty day with clear intervals of blue sky in the afternoon. At 2:10 PM Lieutenant Richthofen was flying as a member of Jagdsraffel 2 encountered a two-seater Vickers aircraft, No. 7010.This Fe2b piloted by Sgt, Cuthbert Godfrey Baldwin while 2nd Lieutenant George Andrew Bentham manned the gun and acted as observer when it came under attack by Richthofen over Gommecourt. Richtofen and another German aircraft attacked the British plane that was flying at 1800 meters. After 400 shots the FE.2b In Richtofen’s words, the enemy,” dashed to the ground and smashed to pieces “, Northeast of Grevilles Wood. Both British airmen were KIA either from wounds or from crash trauma. www.tomlapadula-aviation art.com #richthofen #baronvonrichthofen #manfredvonrichthofen #albatrosd.ll #FE.2b #wwl #militaryaviation #aviationart #biplanes
My fourth in the series of Richthofen victories: Richthofen’s fourth victory according to his Combat Report: “was against a new type and not seen before two decked bi-plane.”The BE12 was a scout plane with a gun mounted on the port side of the plane. The weather conditions on October 7, 1916, were described as low clouds and strong winds-stormy all day. Richthofen’s Staffel attacked at 3000 meters. MvR singled out the BE. 12, # 6618 flown by Lt. William Cecil Fenwick, over Rancourt, France. Richthofen fired 400 rounds killing Fenwick with a head wound: the plane dashing downwards. The Baron took many souvenirs of his victories, usually manufacturing placards, guns, and squadron insignia. He even had silver schnapps cups engraved with each victory number. Aerial victories 1-60 were commemorated this way by MvR and would have continued to the end if not for silver shortages in Germany later in the war. 20” x 16” oil on panel, prints available at www.tomlapadula-aviationart.com. #manfredvonrichthofen #manfredvonrichthofenart # #manfredvonrichthofens #wwl #albatrosd.1 #BE12 #aerialcombat #militaryaviationart #biplanes #warplanes
I decided to paint all 80 of Baron Von Richthofen’s aerial victories. This is aerial victory #1, on Sept 17, 1916, near Flesquieres, France. The Red Baron singled out the two man FE.2b, serial #7018, and fired several times, the last as close as 10 meters. Suddenly the enemy propeller stuck. The plane began gliding downward. Richthofen still under attack, followed the plane's descent downward and killed the gunner. Oil on panel, 20" x16".

Fifth sketch in the series of proposed paintings depicting all 80 of Richthofen’s aerial victories: Richthofen's fifth aerial victory was on October 16, 1916. Around 5pm the Baron singled out a British BE.12 over Betincourt, France. After firing 350 rounds, Richthofen brought the enemy plane down, killing 2nd Lt. John Thompson. Cause of death of the British Airmen was either gunshot wounds or crash trauma.

Fourth sketch in the series of proposed paintings depicting all 80 Richthofen victories: Richthofen's fourth aerial victory was on October 7, 1916. At 9:10am on that day, the Baron shot down a British BE 12, serial # 6618 over Rancourt, France. Richthofen fired over 400 rounds at the British plane piloted 2nd Lt. William Cecil Fenwick. A round or rounds hit Fenwick in the head causing his plane to plummet to the ground. Fenwick was buried on the field, his grave lost to the turmoil of war.

Two drawings for a forthcoming watercolour painting of an Albatros D.III German WW1 fighter. I generally include the propeller in my drawings but not in my paintings. This allows me to accurately determine where the tips are so that I can paint in the arc of the propeller without having to paint the propeller itself. #oilandwaterartwork.com #original #pencildrawing #aircraft #aircraftdrawing #albatrosd.lll #ww1 #fighteraircraft
Third in the series: Richthofen's third aerial victory was on Sept 30, 1916. Around Noon on that day, the Baron's Staffel attacked 4 British planes over Lagincourt, France. Richthofen singled in on a FE.2b and fired over 200 rounds. The British plane piloted by Lt. Ernest Conway Lansdale and his gunner Sgt. Albert Clarkson spiraled down to the earth killing both occupants. The cause of death of the British Airmen was either gunshot wounds, immolation, or trauma caused by their aircraft crashing near Fremicourt.

Albatros D. V Biplane (1917) & Daimler Mercedes 28-95 Targa Florio Roadster (1923) .. The Albatros D.V was a fighter aircraft used by the Luftstreitkräfte (Imperial German Air Service) during World War I. The D.V was the final development of the Albatros D.I family, and the last Albatros fighter to see operational service. .. The Albatros D. V though not the most famous plane piloted by Baron Manfred von Richthofen, famously known as the Red Baron, was the one in which he sustained his most serious injuries in WW I prior to being shot down to his death a year later. The model shown here features the paint scheme flown by Richthofen with this aeroplane specification. .. On 6 July 1917, during combat with a formation of F.E.2d two seat fighters of No. 20 Squadron RFC, near Wervicq, Richthofen sustained a serious head-wound, causing instant disorientation and temporary partial blindness. He regained consciousness in time to ease the aircraft out of a free-falling spin and executed a rough landing in a field within friendly territory. The injury required multiple surgical operations to remove bone splinters from the impact area. The air victory was credited to Captain Donald Cunnell of No. 20, who was himself shot down and killed a few days later (by anti-aircraft fire). The Red Baron returned to active service (against doctor's orders) on 25 July, but went on convalescent leave from 5 September to 23 October. His wound is thought to have caused lasting damage (he later often suffered from post-flight nausea and headaches) as well as a change in temperament. There is even a theory linking this injury with his eventual death. .. In April 1917, Albatros received an order from the Idflieg (Inspektion der Fliegertruppen) for an improved version of the D.III. The resulting D.V prototype flew later that month. .. #albatros #d.v #albatrosd.v #daimler #redbaron #baronvonrichthofen #wwi #wwr #1917 #luftstreitkräfte #airplane #aeroplane #german #luftzeug #plane #legoplane #airforce #lego #lego__911 #moc #model #miniland #afol #instalego #povray #render #fighter #fighterace #biplane #legoredbaron
