After his 18th kill, von Richthofen received the Pour le Mérite, the highest military honor in Germany at the time. Earlier, on November 23, 1916 he had downed the British ace Lanoe Hawker, sometimes referred as "the British Boelcke", of course not yet aware of that. It happened when von Richthofen was still flying an Albatros D.II. However, after this engagement, he was convinced that he needed a fighter airplane with more agility, although this implied a loss of speed. Unfortunately, the Albatros fighter was the mainstay aircraft of the German air service throughout 1917, and

****the Baron flew Albatros D.III and D.V models well into 1917. ****

That September von Richthofen was flying the celebrated Fokker Dr.I triplane, the distinctive three-winged aircraft he is most commonly associated with.
