Great. They can find this, but not the president’s birth certificate.

At 80 kills is he still the #1 flying ace of all time?

While Richtofen was the only pilot in the Flying Circus to fly an all red airplane, all the others had a bit of red in their color schem to show their unit.

And after Richthofen’s death, one of the later commanders of his squadron was Hermann Goering, who finished WWI with 22 confirmed kills. Richthofen was given a dignified burial by the British, though his remains were later moved home to Germany.

Thanks GonzoII.

Of course, he still managed to force Snoopy down behind enemy lines -- at least that's what the only artistically valid anti-war song from the time of the Vietnam War claimed. :')

Merry Christmas, my friends.

His original burial site is here.

After WWII, the Berlin Wall went over it, so he was exhumed and moved here.

Interesting fact; when he was re-interred, both the Germans and the British gave him full military honors.
