HONORS TO
ENEMY AVIATOR
DURING BURIAL OF RIcHToFEN.
AIRPLANEs CIRCLE OVER
THE FUNERAL PARTY.

A large number Of British fighting
men and aviation officers. as well as
Americans attended the burial Mon
day Of Capt. Baron Won Richtofen,
who was laid away in the grave yard
of a little hamlet near Sailly-le-Sac
where he was shot down in an air
combat on Sunday. II was an i'm
pressive funeral. worthy Of the great
est aviator yet produced by the cen
tral allies. No finer rite could have
been performed had II been the pre-
mier allied pilot who lost his life.
instead Of this intrepid German whom
all honored.
The thoughts Of those who stood
at the grave while the army chap
lain read the beautiful church Of Eng
land service were expressed in an in
scription on one Of the floral wreaths:
"A valiant and worthy foe"
One particularly striking touch was
added to the ceremony As the chap
lain took his place by the grave, a
squadron Of British airplanes came
circling from all directions and
throughout the service wheeled over
the grave yard at low altitude.
According to official German ac-
counts Of Capt. Won Richthofen's end
he was pursuing at low altitude an
enemy battle plane when apparently
motor trouble forced him to land be-
hind the enemy lines. As he made a
smooth landing. II was hoped he had
only been captured until the British
re1ovts were received announcing his
death.
As Capt. Won Richthofcn was pur-
suing an enemy plane at the time.
the accounts point out, he could not
well have been hit by his opponents
fire and the belief is expressed that
he was the victim Of chance shot
from the ground.
