I remember in the early ‘70s as kid seeing a pair of doghouses in a neighbor’s yard; one red with iron crosses and one white with the RAF bullseye. Peanuts was a huge pop culture phenomenon at the time. Even NASA got in on it.
Before that there was Pussy Galore’s Flying Circus.
The name was supposed to suggest cleanliness and safety. Ground beef had a rather bad reputation in the U.S. much in the same way we joke about hot dogs or chicken mcnuggets these days. The original White Castle restaurants tried to allay those fears by building their restaurants with stainless steel interiors and outfitting their employees in clean white uniforms.
It’s a ponzu scam! 
Having some fifth-or-sixth-cousin-level ancestral ties to the von Richtofen family, I would happily offer that I am not a fan of that particular brand of pizza.
However, if they came out with a Chuck Yeager ham sammich, or a Robin Olds porterhouse steak, I’d be all over those in a heartbeat.

Chuck Norris coffee slakes your thirst with a roundhouse kick of caffiene to start your day.
The most offensive part of Red Baron pizza is the taste.
I recall the cheap home-video-quality commercials from back in the '80s, associating it with the “romance of flight.” Something like:
I remember the Red Baron … so dashing in his boots and goggles as he took to the air that last time… I shall never forget him!
Or words to that effect, all said in a sultry female voice.
Hey, I used to buy them all the time. They were better than any other available frozen pizza.
Pretty weird. I’ve never seen one myself, and I notice that a quick search doesn’t show any in the Boston area (nor do I recall any in other places I’ve lived).
I do find plenty of Chinese or Chinese-Italian restaurants with the name “Marco Polo”, though. And there does seem to be a Marco Polo restaurant in the North End, although I can’t find a menu
Germany was the enemy in WWI, but they weren’t Nazis. Hitler started WWII as a war of conquest. I think WWI was a giant Charlie-Foxtrot brought about my politics and treaty obligations. Royalty were all related. King George V and Kaiser Wilhelm II were first cousins (so was Tsar Nicholas II). I don’t think anyone really wanted to go to war, but they were too ‘whatever’ to not. Nowadays, people think ‘Germans bad,’ and don’t make a distinction between the Kaiser’s Germany and Hitler’s Germany.
During WWI, the Allies respected Richthofen and gave him a full military funeral.
Right, Germany wasnt the “bad guy” of the Great War, where pretty much all the original contestants were warmongering Imperialistic powers. No war between good and evil then.
And pretty much all war heroes killed people. Audie Murphy was a famous movie star- and he killed lots of enemy combatants, so did Jimmy Stewart, Mel Brooks, Christopher Lee, and many others. Many of our Presidents killed enemy combatants, George Bush the senior the likely last.
I still buy them. They aren’t bad for when you just want something reasonably fast with little work or cost involved. Thin crust Supreme is the way to go for me. Better than just about any other frozen pizza out there, that’s for sure.
Oddly enough, I actually had one last night.
Didn’t feel like cooking much, and it was right there in the freezer.
Certainly wasn’t the best meal, but I wasn’t hungry afterwards.
They had them at Canadian Walmart a few years ago, but I haven’t seen them since. 
Tombstone strikes me as a much, much weirder name for pizza than Red Baron. Would you buy Coffin Pizza or Morgue Pizza?
I do understand the implied association with Tombstone, Arizona and the O.K. Corral, etc. That’s only marginally less weird, given the violent shootout that happened there.
How about Almost Pizza? (Yes! One more time!!)
Tombstone also had some rather morbid commercials.
By the way, I can sorta see Mrco Polo being adopted for either Italian or Chinese food, since he had one foot in each culture, so yto speak. I severely underestimated how much leeway people would give to such a figure.
But give me a call when someone opens an Ivan the Terrible Pizza Palace.
(There isn’t one. I checked.)
(And no, that reference isn’t to an Ivan the Terrible Pizza restaurant, even though it has both “Ivan the Terrible” and “pizza” on the website.)
Of course not. They’re better for Italian desserts. Haven’t you ever seen Genghis Khanoli?
(I’ll see myself out)
If you’re gonna complain about Red Baron pizza, don’t ever let me see you eating a Godfathers. The mafia have killed more poeple and created more misery than the Baron’s entire squadron. I never can understand the romanticism of killers.
And Papa John can FOAD as far as I’m concerned.
