Talking with the Red Baron
"Using the Red Baron's personal diaries, squadron records, official documents, correspondence and archive photography, Peter kilduff brings vividly to life the most feared and respected pilot on the Western Front, Baron Manfred von Richthofen. Posing searching questions and applying documentary evidence to respond in Richthofen's own engaging words, the author gives the reader direct and revealing access to the heart of the man behind the enduring myth. If it is a long-held dream of historians to converse with the protagonists of the past, then this novel approach from an acknowledged expert on the Red Baron will surely set the standard for attaining that goal with history's most enigmatic flying hero."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Richthofen
This fascinating selection of photographs tells the story of the legendary Red Baron, Manfred von Richthofen.
The Red Battle Flyer
Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen (2 May 1892 - 21 April 1918), also widely known as the Red Baron, was a German fighter pilot with the Imperial German Army Air Service (Luftstreitkrafte) during the First World War. He is considered the ace-of-aces of the war, being officially credited with 80 air combat victories. Originally a cavalryman, Richthofen transferred to the Air Service in 1915, becoming one of the first members of Jasta 2 in 1916. He quickly distinguished himself as a fighter pilot, and during 1917 became leader of Jasta 11 and then the larger unit Jagdgeschwader 1 (better known as the "Flying Circus"). By 1918, he was regarded as a national hero in Germany, and widely respected even by his enemies. Richthofen was shot down and killed near Amiens on 21 April 1918. There has been considerable discussion and debate regarding aspects of his career, especially the circumstances of his death. He remains perhaps the most widely known fighter pilot of all time, and has been the subject of many books, films and other media.
The Red Battle Flyer
""The Red Battle-Flyer" has evidently been carefully censored by the German authorities. Also it has possibly been touched up here and there for propagandist purposes. Consequently, although the narrative as it stands is extraordinarily interesting, the book as a whole is still more interesting on account of what one reads between the lines, and of what one can deduce from the general outlook of the writer. There is, perhaps, little to learn of immediate topical interest, but there is much that explains things which were rather difficult to understand in the past, and the understanding of such points gives one a line of reasoning which should be useful to our active-service aviators in the future." -Preface

Richthofen
The name of the legendary Freiherr Manfred von Richthofen – the ‘Red Baron’ – still lives on. At a time when aviation was in its infancy and the ancient tradition of martial chivalry was in its final decline, when warfare on land had become a human hell and only the skies remained for nobility in combat, he was a symbol of honor and deadly skill. Even in death Richthofen has created a myth not least in the way he met his final end. Many stories have been written concerning this event with a number of people claiming the credit for shooting him down. Extensive research has amassed convincing evidence that should provide the final word. This is the superbly, indelibly thrilling story of the ‘Knight of the Air’ – the man he was, the life he led, the kills he made, the strange controversial fate he met, and the legend he has left for all time.
