Trots detta förväntade jag mig att det skulle finnas något slags
information om den på Wikipedia -- men det finns ingenting där!
Uppslagsordet "Red Baron" ger förstås träffar, men...
Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen (May 2, 1892 – April 21, 1918)
was a German pilot and is still regarded today as the "ace of aces" and a
national hero of Germany. He was a military squadron leader and flying ace
and the most successful fighter pilot of World War I, who was credited
with 80 confirmed air combat victories.
Richthofen is also known as "petit rouge" ("Little Red") or "le Diable
Rouge" ("Red Devil") in French, and; the "Red Knight" or the "Red Baron"
in the English-speaking world; "el Barón Rojo" in Spanish. The German
translation of Red Baron is "der Rote Baron", and Richthofen is known by
this name in Germany as well (although he was rarely referred to as
"Baron" in Germany during his lifetime, because Freiherr is the more
commonly used title for this level of nobility).
Etc. etc. etc.
