On This Day In History: The Red Baron is killed in action


In the skies over France, Manfred von Richthofen, the notorious German flying ace known as "The Red Baron," is killed by Allied fire on April 21, 1918, with 80 victories under his belt, he was 25 years old. In a time of wooden and fabric aircraft, when 20 air victories ensured a pilot legendary status, The Red Baron downed 80 enemy aircraft.

Now we honor his legacy with shitty yet, undeniably tasty frozen pizzas.
