Explore Competing Theories
by Evan Hadingham
Red Baron homepage
Like the Kennedy assassination, the death of Manfred von Richthofen is clouded by dozens of often conflicting eyewitness accounts and has inspired a mountain of speculative theories. NOVA's "Who Killed the Red Baron?" is based partly on a notable recent investigation of those theories, The Red Baron's Last Flight, by Norman Franks and Alan Bennett. Another important recent book, The Many Deaths of the Red Baron, by Frank McGuire, surveys the literature supporting the competing claims. Below is a brief sampler of the many versions of the events of April 21, 1918, discussed in detail by these two sources.

The purple Baron's prompt successor replaced into Wilhelm "Willi" Reinhard, appointed on twenty 2d April 1918, the day after Von Richthofen's dying. He'd until now been the commander of Jasta 6. regrettably, his time with JG1 replaced into short. On July third 1918, he and Goering attended flight assessments for a clean German fighter, the Zeppelin-Lindau D1. Goering flew it first and landed without issues. Then Reinhard took the hot gadget up; It suffered catastrophic structural failure while a strut broke, collapsing the precise wing. He replaced into killed interior the ensuing crash. Goering replaced into appointed as a results of fact the hot commander of JG1 on the 8th July.
