    “Carl August von Schönebeck, who flew with the Baron, and survives today, recalls in his correspondence with Carisella: “Each time we came back von Richthofen told us what we had done right and where we made mistakes. Thus, I noticed, to my great astonishment, that he never lost sight of us even when fighting for his life…We knew we could depend on him like a rock. If things were going badly, if we were ever in a hole, he’d notice it and pull us out. It gave the Jasta a great feeling of safety.””
