Manfred von Richthofen’s first Albatros D.III was passed down to Lothar, seen here receiving advice from Carl Allmenroder. Some sources indicate that the aircraft was mahogany coloured with a red band, barely visible here, between the cockpit and national marking. Lothar regarded the aeroplane and a pair of Manfred’s old flying-gloves as talismanic, keeping him from harm and aiding his early success.
‘As luck would have it, I shot down my first ten Englishmen armed with these gloves and this machine,’
