 Biography/personal description:  

Born in 1987 in Innsburck, I always loved to see the sailing planes tourning over our heads in summertime in the alps. I first got my feet off the ground when I was 5 years old when my mother took my twin brother (who is a pilot with Lufthansa) on a trip to spain and always wanted to fly ever since.  Currently I am attending law school of university of salzburg and I hope I can finally afford my first license after I graduate.

Although I've been playing many online games, both in command positions and as a simple soldier, I have never experienced a game quite as enjoyable as RB. That might be that fact that I got the game in '99 and couldnt stop playing it ever since.

Ehrenbecher  (Cup of Honour)

A special award given from the Rittmeister himself, the Ehrenbecher was designed by Manfred von Richthofen.  This award is to be ceremoniously given to each pilot that scores his first kill.

 

 

 

Awarded in recognition for the first confirmed aerial victory.

Iron Cross 2nd Class

The Iron Cross was awarded in three Classes:  the Grand Cross ("Grosskreuz") for senior commanders (only 5 awarded), 2nd Class for individual merit in combat (5 million), and the 1st Class for acts of heroism or bravery in combat (1 million).  The Eisernes Kreuz all looked the same, it's where you wore them that told the difference:  Grand Cross around the neck, 1st Class pinned to the left side of the tunic about two inches above the belt, and for the 2nd Class, you merely wore the ribbon looped through the second button hole in the front of the uniform.  The Iron Cross has the distinction of being one of the few Prussian awards handed out to both officers and enlisted men equally - probably because of it's long history as an award for valor. The Iron Cross, 2nd Class, usually came after a few successful missions (for 2-seater pilots) or the first few "kills" for a Kampflieger.

 

Awarded to a pilot that has scored 2 aerial victories.

 

Iron Cross 1st Class

The Iron Cross was originally established on 10 March 1813 by King Friedrich Wilhelm III. It was reestablished in 1870 during the Franco-Prussian war and again on 5 August 1914 by Wilhelm II, Emperor of Germany and King of Prussia.  Issued in three classes, the 1914 Iron Cross was awarded without regard for nationality or social class to combatants and noncombatants for acts of heroism, bravery or leadership. Although the medals of each class were identical, the manner in which each was worn differed. Employing a pin or screw posts on the back of the medal, the Iron Cross First Class was worn on the left side of the recipient's uniform. 

 

Awarded to a pilot that has 5 Victories.

Red Baron World League VIII.

Military Merit Cross 3rd Class with War Decoration

This Austrian award was roughly equivalent to the Prussian award of the same name, and was awarded for conspicuous acts of bravery.  It also appears to have been awarded to many German fliers. It lies somewhere between the Knight’s Cross and the Blue Max in stature

 

 

Awarded to a pilot upon achieving 10 aerial victories. 

The Military Order of St. Henry

Awarded to serving officers, either for conspicuous personal bravery on the battlefield or, more frequently in the case of officers of higher rank, for merit in positions of great responsibility. The Military Order of St. Henry was the highest Saxon decoration bestowed upon members of the German Air Service and was most often awarded to pilots and observers of Flieger, Feldflieger and Bomber Abteilungen.

 

This medal is awarded in recognition of the 15th aerial victory.
