As a child, Richthofen enjoyed hunting and horse riding. He excelled at gymnastics. At the age of 11, he started cadet training. After this training had ended, Richthofen joined a cavalry regiment.]]> 2017-11-28 17:57:22 UTC https://padlet.com/haydan_crowder/5ojjw8fj2uus/wish/211058863 haydan_crowder https://padlet.com/haydan_crowder/5ojjw8fj2uus/wish/211061526 When World War One was declared, Richthofen was 22 years old and he served as a cavalry reconnaissance officer. Trench warfare made the traditional use of cavalry regiments all but impossible and Richthofen was assigned to infantry duties. Richthofen was greatly disappointed by this, as he believed that as a cavalry officer he needed to be in the action far more than the infantry was. He applied to join the Imperial German Army Air Service and was accepted. He joined his new unit in May 1915.]]> 2017-11-28 18:01:15 UTC https://padlet.com/haydan_crowder/5ojjw8fj2uus/wish/211061526 haydan_crowder https://padlet.com/haydan_crowder/5ojjw8fj2uus/wish/211062804 1.Richthofen was not a pilot and did not train to be one. His first squadron, No 69, was used on the Eastern Front. Richthofen was used on reconnaissance missions as an observer.
2. He was transferred to the Western Front and started to train as a pilot in October 1915. Richthofen qualified as a pilot and become active in March 1916. The first aircraft he flew operationally was an Albatros C.III. Richthofen did not have a glorious start to his new career – he crashed on his first flight.
3. Richthofen had his first official kill on September 17th, 1916. However, Richthofen had claimed that he had shot down two French aircraft before joining ‘Jagdstaffel 2’- but neither were confirmed kills and they were not credited to him.
4. For every confirmed kill, Richthofen had a silver cup made by a jeweler in Berlin. Each cup had the date of the kill on it and the aircraft shot down.
5. Richthofen had 60 of these cups made before ending this ‘celebration’ as there was a silver shortage in Germany.]]> 2017-11-28 18:03:01 UTC https://padlet.com/haydan_crowder/5ojjw8fj2uus/wish/211062804 haydan_crowder https://padlet.com/haydan_crowder/5ojjw8fj2uus/wish/211968677
