How to create a new pilot
One of the central features of Red Baron 3-D is the ability to
assume the role of a pilot on the Western Front.  Your pilot (you)
will be assigned to fly for various squadrons alongside famous
aces such as Werner Voss or Albert Ball.  If you choose to fly the
entire span of the war, you will see various new aircraft come into
service and will experience first hand the frustration of having to
fight in an inferior machine.  At other times, you will feel the
exhilaration of knowing that you hold a technical advantage over
your hapless opponents.
From the Main Menu click the Campaign button and you will
be presented with an empty pilot dossier. The first thing you need
to do is to select a service to fly with.  You may choose to create a
British, German, French, or American pilot.  Click the Service
tab, then click the U.S. button.  Notice that over on the right side
of the dossier, the Current DateServiceRank, and Date of
Enlistment 
fields have been filled in.  
Since the Americans did not become officially involved in the
war, the default start date for an American pilot is March 1, 1918.
However, you may choose to start on an earlier date.  Click the
Enlistment Date tab on the left side of the dossier and you will
be given a list of valid start dates.  Note that the start dates are all
the first day of every month between January 1, 1916 and
November 1, 1918.
Locate and click the January 1, 1917 date to start about a
year earlier than normal.  A box appears on screen telling you that
Americans enlisting before February 16, 1918 will fly for the
French air service in the Lafayette Escadrille.  Click the Continue
button to accept these terms.  Note that the Current DateService,
Rank, and Date of Enlistment  fields change from their previous
values and that the Current SquadronAerodrome, and Region
