Manfred von Richthofen, receives some last-minute attention from its ground crew. As the overcast lifts, the famous – or infamous – Red Baron himself engages in a little preflight repartee and gives final orders to the pilots who will fly into combat with him. A morning much like the one pictured here, von Richthofen would lose his life in combat over the Somme, on April 21.
