	Manfred von Richthofen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In January of 1917 von Richthofen assumed command of Jasta 11, which ultimately included some of the elite of Germany's pilots, many of whom the Red Baron trained himself.
		Jasta 11's aircraft featured red markings, and some of Richthofen's planes were entirely red.
		This head wound is thought to have caused lasting damage, as after the injury he suffered from post-flight nausea and headaches, a change in temperament, and his single minded pursuit that led to his death was uncharacteristic of his standard method of not becoming fixated on a single target to the exclusion of others.

	Air Power:World War I Aerial Combat
		Jastas were not attached to any ground units but traveled as needed.
		The pilots of the Jastas were trained to follow the Dicta Boelke, a series of aerial combat techniques Boelke had developed that covered both attack procedures and tactics.
		The height of the Jastas’ power came during April 1917 at the Battle of Arras, better known as "Bloody April." The French air squadrons had withdrawn to recover from the previous months of battle, but England had decided to fight on despite delays in delivery of the next generation of fighters to the Front.

		While leading Jasta 11 as its JG.I commander on July 6, Richthofen became involved in an epic dogfight with the British that quickly escalated until there were as many as 40 aircraft involved.

		One feature that all the Jasta 11 aircraft had in common is the bright red cowl, wheel centres and interplane struts.

		Emerging from his period of training with a pilot's certificate in December 1915 Wolff saw service at Verdun in early 1916 with a KG unit and later that year during the closing stages of the Battle of the Somme with Jasta 11.
		It was only with the arrival of Manfred von Richthofen to command of Jasta 11 that both Wolff's and Jasta 11's performance picked up.
		The recipient of Germany's highest military award, the Pour le Merite, on 4 May 1917, Wolff was handed command of Jasta 29 two days later, an appointment which brought a mixed reaction, Wolff believing that he was better while being led than leading by example himself.
