from The Forgotten Timeline · host AC Wilson

This episode details the life and military career of Manfred von Richthofen, the premier German fighter pilot of the First World War. Known as the Red Baron, he transitioned from the cavalry to the air service, eventually securing 80 confirmed aerial victories in his signature crimson plane. The source explores his noble upbringing, his leadership of the famous "Flying Circus" squadron, and a significant head injury that may have altered his judgment.
