The Red Baron

Synopsis

From the carnage and chaos of the First World War arose one man whose name would pass into legend. Gentleman? Warrior? Adventurer? Manfred Von Richthofen is forever known as The Red Baron. The fearless flying ace was Germany's top pilot, with his good looks and successive victories making him a national celebrity and pin-up. With his distinctive flame red tri-plane, The Red Baron inspired both fear and respect from his enemies at a time when aerial combat was considered a gentlemanly sport. These young pilots, Allied and German, were heroic buccaneers.
