Newly captured German machine at a Flying Corps depot close to the front

Image by National Library of Scotland
Captured German fighter plane with some Flying Corps members, France. This photograph was taken at a Royal Flying Corps base close to the front line on the Western Front, and shows a lately captured German fighter plane. Judging by the truth that the aeroplane has lost its wings and is being transported on a trailer, it would seem that the fighter plane might effectively have been shot down. Surely, these members of the Royal Flying Corps look to be acquiring a lot of exciting out of their war booty, as they clamber more than it like soldier ants.

Almost certainly the most renowned German fighter pilot was Manfred von Richthofen, identified as ‘The Red Baron’. Originally a cavalry officer, von Richthofen took to the skies in May possibly 1915 soon after joining the German Army Air Service. In June 1917 he became commander of the German Flying Circus, which was a unit of top fighter pilots. His nickname was coined soon after he painted his Albatross D-III plane bright red. ‘The Red Baron’ shot down 80 allied aircraft, just before he was killed, in April 1918, when his plane crashed after being hit by ground fire.
