According to the book, "Ghosts In The Air", by Martin Cadin, the Red Baron's WWI red triplane was seen in the air over Europe quite a number of times during WWII. A sufficient number of pilots saw it that it wasn't the figment of one pilot's overactive imagination.
It would always appear in front of a lone fighter plane on patrol, fly ahead although they were travelling several time as fast as a WWI plane would have been capable of, and ultimately vanish into a cloud.
Cadin solicited stories for the book, and tossed 90% of the responses. The book consists of only the stories for which there was absolutely no rational explanation.
Like the B17 bomber that returned from a mission in WWII, landed normally, and taxied up to its regular parking spot. The engines shut down routinely. When no crew appeared, ground crew entered the plane and found all crew members dead, and they had obviously been dead for quite some time. After the bodies had been removed, the airplane self-ignited and burned to the ground. Try to explain that.
