Richthofen family

Manfred von Richthofen was the most successful fighter pilot of World War I, with 80 official victories before he was killed in action.

The two aviators were fourth cousins of the German World War II field marshal Wolfram von Richthofen (1895–1945).

Though their last common ancestor was born in 1661, the Red Baron's fame nonetheless attached to Frieda's reputation in war time England.

[citation needed] Frieda's sister Else von Richthofen was one of the earliest female social scientists in Germany.

Suzane Louise von Richthofen (born 3 November 1983) is a Brazilian woman who was convicted of murdering her parents on 31 October 2002 with the help of her boyfriend and his brother.
