Obituary on Von Richthofen, from the British newspaper 'Aeroplane' from April 24, 1918

Richthofen is dead. All our airmen will be glad that he is out of action; but there will not be one of them who will not sincerely mourn the death of a brave nobleman. A few days ago a banquet was held in honour of one of our best airmen. When he replied to a speech made in his honour, he raised a toast to von Richthofen, to which the whole squadron readily joined in and with which they honoured a respected opponent. Both outstanding aviators are now dead, after our aviation hero had expressed the hope that they would both be allowed to survive this war in order to be able to exchange experiences afterwards. No one in the flying corps [Royal Flying Corps] would not have been happy if he had been able to kill Richthofen, but everyone would have shaken his hand joyfully if he had been captured alive. [...] Richthofen was a brave man, a decent fighter and a true nobleman. May he rest in peace'.
