    FAMOUS GERMAN AVIATOR KILLED IN SOMME VALLEY.
    Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]), 23 April 1918. Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers. Lib. of Congress. <http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn99021999/1918-04-23/ed-1/seq-2/>
    FAMOUS GERMAN AVIATOR KILLED IN SOMME VALLEY
    Captain Baron Von Richthofen, Premier of Teuton Fliers, Brings Down Last Allied Plane.
    (Associated Press.)
    London, April 22. Captain Baron von Richthofen, the famous German aviator, has been killed, Reuter's correspondent at British headquarters reports. The captain was brought down in the Somnic valley., His body was recovered and will be buried today with military honors.
    Since Captain Boelke was shot down in October, 1916, Captain von Richthofen has been the most prominent and successful German aviator.
    On April 8 the German war office announced that he had achieved his 78th aerial victory, although in this as in previous citations he was not credited explicitly with having brought down an allied airplane.
    Captain von Richthofen first came into prominence as leader of the "flying circus," a squadron of German aviators which fought in a peculiar circular formation, following each other around so that in case one was attacked the next flyer could sweep the antagonist from the rear.
    Recently Emperor William conferred upon him the Order of the Red Eagle.
    An official statement reporting aerial operations issued yesterday at Berlin said:
    "Baron Richthofen, at the head of his trusty chasing squadron, on Saturday gained his 79th and 80th victories." Denver, Colo., April 22. Captain Baron Max von Richthofen, famous German aviator, reported killed on the French front, was a nephew of Baroness Louise Richthofen, prominent socially in Denver.
    Baroness Richthofen was an English woman prior to her marriage and is one of the most active workers in Colorado for Belgium and other allied war relief work. It was she who originated the flag which is being sold all over the country for the relief of blind soldiers and sailors.
