Confusion Over Red Baron Relic Plates From Fokker Tri Plane
The Australian War Memorial faced questions about the authenticity of so called Red Baron registration plates taken from Richthofen’s wrecked Fokker. Investigations showed mispellings and misplaced accents on many plates, with some claimed to be genuine by owners in the United States and elsewhere. Researchers from Fokker Aircraft of Holland and the Australian authority concluded many plates were fabrications, leading to withdrawal of the memorial plate from display. The topic raises broader interest in whether the plate represents historical fact or a modern fabrication connected to Richthofen’s aircraft.
