The usual apologies if this is old stuff.

Film of the Red Baron inspecting wreck of Mk IV 2732/C51, along with other officers and a civilian.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the Ace of Spades on the sponson all about?

Not Von Richthofen, but Tony Fokker himself (owner of Fokker Flugzeuge GmBH) . Here I attach a photo of him during WW1 (he's at left, with Kurt Wintgens).

Tony Fokker

 

He was in his mid-20s and looks even younger. This man was already a millionaire! He was also a keen cinematographer and invented one of the first portable camera devices for his own personal use. There are several air aces in that movie, including a very slim and handsome... Hermann Goering! He starts at 11'12"
