Talking With the Red Baron
"Interviews" with Manfred von Richthofen. Kilduff. Acting as a German journalist reporting in WWI, the author places questions to the best-known flyer of all time.

All the comments ascribed to von Richthofen are based on his own writings or those who knew him, on log books and official records, or on family and military archives, including never-before-accessed records and reports. 248 pgs., 6"x 9", hdbd.

Red Baron Historical Study Notes:

Manfred von Richthofen, the "ace of aces," managed 80 confirmed kills over World War I Europe, peaking during the "Red April" of 1917 when he racked up an incredible 22 victories. Then Britain's Sopwith Triplane appeared over the horizon, and suddenly the Red Baron was put to the ultimate test: gunsight-to-gunsight combat with a vastly superior aircraft.

In July of 1917, Manfred von Richthofen - the Red Baron - tangles with Sopwith Camels in the skies over Belgium.

"They climb like monkeys and maneuver like devils." The words of Baron Manfred von Richthofen describing the new Fokker Dr. I to his men.

Why was the Red Baron flying an airplane with three wings when all the Allies agreed that the biplane was the preferred form?
