<<On this date,Manfred, Freiherr (baron) von Richthofen, Germany's top flying ace in World War I, was shot down and killed during a battle near Amiens, France.>>

An old Norweigen who flew in WWII was talking to a class. There was a Foeker on the right of me and a Foeker on the right.

Teacher buts in and said a Foeker was a type of plane the Germans used.
