... his sister married British author D.H. Lawrence, IIRC

Frieda von Richtofen (Frieda Weekley when she took up with Lawrence in 1912, they married after her divorce from Ernest Weekley two years later) was a distant relative, someone worked out that she was a fifth cousin once removed, of the 'Red Baron'.

You can always judge a Richthofen picture by his head bandage. Almost fatally wounded 6th july. 1917.
Certainly a ticket home he carried on flying regardless
