They look so young in this photo, especially Anthony.

Anthony Fokker was born April 1890. So in April 1917 he was 27 years old.

Manfred von Richthofen was born Mai 1892 and so he was 25 years old in Mai 1917.

 

Yes, they were young. MvR died with 26. This is a good picture of him - he looks so determined.

I think it looks like he wants to punch the cameraman.

IMO they look like they have just learned about the loss of a comrade

More likely, it was freezing cold, and they had to stand around waiting for a (at the time) slow and boring Camera Shoot
