Fortunately, the problem was fixed. Well not the one about how hard it is to shoot the enemies but the one of the bullets hitting the propeller. Anthony Folker put ''Wedges" on the propeller so the bullets would just deflect off the propeller, but that's was still too dangerous. Then Roland Garros made an "Interrupter" on a MG-08 so that the bullets were timed with the engines and when the gun fired the bullets would go in-between each propeller.

And if war in the sky wasn't hard enough, someone made it even worse for the Allies: The Red Baron. The German top-ranked fighter pilot Manfred von Richthofen was known by his bright red pained plane. He had over 50 confirmed kills in his lifetime. He became such a feared presence in Europe that soon other pilots painted their planes red to strike fear into the Allies.
