Baron Von Richthofen was a German fighter ace in World War One, in his famous red plane. Answer: Baron Manfred von Richthofen flew in the German air force. He flew several airplanes in his career. His first all-red airplane was an Albatros D-III biplane. Later, he flew several Fokker Dr-1 tri-planes. Some had only a red upper wing and red tail. The plane he was flying when he was shot down and killed was an all-red Fokker Dr-1 triplane. That is really a good question, because not all pilots who fought against the British and Americans were German. Austria-Hungary was Another Country that had its own air force. Their aicraft had the same national insignia as the German. Also Turkey had a small air force but their insignia was different.
