From the Archives, 1969: Who killed the Red Baron, WWI German ace?
April 21st marks 105 years since the death of the First World War German ace, Baron Manfred von Richthofen. The matter of who shot the Red Barron is a controversy that remains unresolved to this day. Research suggests Australian anti-aircraft gunners were responsible but perhaps everyone who fired a shot at the distinctive red Fokker Dr1 triplane during the aerial dogfight over Allied lines has a claim the kill.
