In the real world, "Red Baron" was a popular nickname of Manfred von Richthofen, a German ace pilot active in World War I. Several German military aviation squadrons were named after him. Some of them are mentioned in-universe. For instance, [[Hermann Goering]] is stated as "commander of the famous von Richthofen squadron" in the novel ''[[Timewyrm: Exodus (novel)|Timewyrm: Exodus]]''. But no connection to the Red Baron is made there. | In the real world, "Red Baron" was a popular nickname of Manfred von Richthofen, a German ace pilot active in World War I.

Shapiro's comment is a reference to a running gag in the ''Peanuts'' comic strip where Snoopy would battle the Baron. | |||
