The red Baron: Beyond The Legend.
By Peter Kilduff

ISBN: 0 304 35207 1



This is a newe book for me. So new that in fact I have not yet read it! I have however given it a good look over.

There are a good number of photos, allmost all of the german view. This is a book that I am looking forward to reading. Perhaps with a good glass of scotch in my hand!

Manfred von Richthofen was a gallent and dashing gentleman and a deadly hunter. Shooting down a then record 80 allied aircraft between 17 september 1916 and 20 April 1918, he proved his deadly combination of marksmanship, steel-hard nerves. Showing a outstanding talent for the brandnew art of areal combat, he became a legend in his own lifetip that endures to this day.

I am sure that this book is going to be a fixture in my library.
