TaigaCaptain Manfred von Richthofen painted his Albatros D-III completely Red so he would stand out and show his courage. The French gave him the name Red Flyer. Later the British named him the Red Baron.
Other members of his squadron began to paint their planes in bright colors---not just red. Since they were constantly on the move as the German army advanced, they had to travel by train to new air fields and lived in tents. This earned them the name The Flying Circus.
