After Germany seized a large area of ​​land, resources and population from Russia on the Eastern Front, now it is time to return to the Western Front to solve the problem. Once the autumn offensive is successful, the German High Command will proudly hand over the armistice negotiations to the Allied Powers. The olive branch guarding the border. Compared with Germany, France on the Western Front has almost destroyed the development of the entire national economy by the weight of the war. The entire country has been reduced to barracks and battlefields. All factories are producing arms. The quality of life of ordinary people falling more and more.

It is time to seek a glorious truce on the Western Front, which is the consensus of the German leaders. Of course, for the pilots of the German 4th Air Force stationed in Ukraine, zi you soars in the blue sky and looks down on the earth , Beating down the enemy's planes one by one, and drawing more stars or small planes on their own fuselages to symbolize the number of enemy planes shot down, is the pursuit of these European war air knights.

In Germany in 1918, the air force belonged to the army like other countries. The scientific name had to be called the German Army Air Force or the German Naval Air Force, referred to as the German Air Force. Flying Wing, 1, Flying Squadron.In Wang Geng's previous life, it was not until after the German Air Force became an army before World War II that a 2-level organization and command system was established, that is, 3. Air Force, 4. Flying Wing, 1. Flying Brigade, and 2. Flying Squadron.

Stationed in Ukraine is the 1st Fighter Wing of the German Army Air Corps. This glorious unit was transferred from the Western Front to the Eastern Front and entered Ukraine. It should be said to be a rest or protection. During the summer offensive of the Allies, the 1st Fighter Wing won Therefore, at the beginning of July, although Hindenburg and Ludendorff did not reach an agreement on transferring ground troops from the Western Front to return to the Eastern Front to deal with the Allied forces on the Eastern Front.

However, the 1st Fighter Wing of the German Air Force has already settled in one of the bridgeheads on the Eastern Front: Ukraine due to its fast transition speed. It has been stationed for almost a month.

Speaking of the 1st Fighter Wing, many people may not know what kind of unit it is. Speaking of the most sturdy air ace in the entire European war, the ace of the aces, is called the "red ace" by the world. Manfred von Richthofen of the Baron, everyone may understand that the German 1st Fighter Wing is exactly the Richthofen Wing, and it is also the first flying squadron in the world. United.

Richthofen was born in a famous family, noble in origin, strong in martial arts, handsome in appearance, resolute in character, courageous in his work, and extraordinary in skills.With his standard chivalry, unparalleled combat exploits and his unique and charming combat style, he has conquered the hearts of countless people, including enemies who hate him.

He drove the "Red Baron" scarlet Albatros three-wing fighter that gave him his name to sweep across the entire battlefield on the Western Front, rolling around like a blazing flame, bringing pain, panic, panic and fear to the enemy. Trembling, bringing joy, joy, comfort and confidence to others.Richthofen's strange and huge charm made him the most famous air hero in the history of human air combat, bar none.

Manfred von Richthofen was born on May 1892, 5 in Breslau, Germany (now the city of Woloklau in Poland).He was killed in action over the Somme on April 2, 1918, at the age of 4.He was known by the German public as the Red Pilot, and in the British propaganda machine he had a well-known nickname: "The Red Baron".The media of various countries regard him as a hero of an era, representing the ideal, vision and reality of an era.

Manfred Alberich Freich von Richthofen was the son of the Prussian nobleman Major Alberich von Richthofen and his wife Kuningold, "Richthofen "Fen" means "just and honest", and this surname was earlier bestowed on his family by the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I.

Manfred was the eldest of the major's three sons (he also had a sister named Ilse).Under the militarist education system of the German Empire, Manfred entered the Junior Military Academy in Hallstedt to receive military training at the age of 3, and was later recommended to the Royal Army Academy for further studies.

Manfred is an excellent athlete with a clear mind and excellent cultural achievements, and even won a scholarship.He showed excellent equestrian talent in the military academy, which was also an opportunity for him to enter the cavalry in the future. In April 1911, after graduating, Manfred was assigned to the 4st Lancer Regiment ("Alexander III" Regiment)-an elite unit marked by blood red. He was promoted to second lieutenant in 1, when Manfred was only 1912 years old.

Unfortunately, at the beginning of the twentieth century, the cavalry was clearly outdated.The invention of the Maxim heavy machine gun made the cavalry lose the world of mobile warfare, and trench warfare and positional warfare became the mainstream of ground combat.When the European War broke out in full swing in 1914, Manfred hoped to challenge himself again in the emerging field of aviation.

So he entered the aviation combat group in 1915. Due to the rush of training, he could not be allowed to fly. Manfred's first job in the sky was as a scout.But everything changed when he met Oswald Polk.Like many novice pilots at the time, Manfred regarded Polk as a hero and an idol.Under the influence of Polk, he finally became a real pilot.

On October 1915, 10, Manfred's friend Lieutenant Georg Zummer gave him 10 hours of flight training, and then he flew solo for the first time!However, this flight time was obviously not enough. Manfred crashed the plane when it landed.

In fact, as early as September 1915 when he was still a scout, Manfred Richthofen exchanged fire with a French aircraft and shot it down, but because the enemy plane crashed in the Allied control area, this result could not be achieved. Acknowledged without being acknowledged.Despite the bad luck, Manfred continued to look for prey with hope.
