Frontflieger, just out of curosity where did you find this info about Werners Height. I got my info about Manfred from talking to Peter Kiduff and from his book ‘Red Baron: The life and Death of an Ace’ - in which he says that manfred was 5'6". Still just a guess on my part, mind you, but Werner looked just a little bit taller than the von when you compare both pics (one with flight caps and another with flying helmets. Also the possibility is still there that I could be mistaken/ and or wrong. It is just that I have not seen any imperical data or for that matter anything written, as to his height thats all. tom

Height
I'm not sure the degree to which this may distort the relative heights, but if you notice, MvR is standing perhaps a foot or more closer to the camera lens (note the position of their feet). Wouldn't that make MvR appear to be a bit taller than if he were even with V (or make V even taller--- comparatively)..........John
