I see a WWI flying film coming out, "Flyboys". I also see in the trailer that all German Fokker Dr. I's bearing the same paint scheme as Richthofen's.

While it was true that planes of Jasta 11's pilots were painted predominately red, the pilots added their own touch to it. For example, Lothar von Richthofen, Manfred's daredevil brother, had splashes of yellow (cavalry's traditional color) applied to his planes.
