The Life and Times of Manfred von Richthofen
Drawing on extensive resources and material not included in his previous works, Peter Kilduff - now one of the world's leading experts of First World War aviation history - has compiled an extensive photo-history of the short but glittering career of the Red Baron, the legendary German nobleman and air-ace. This remarkable collection of 220 photographs provides a unique visual documentation of one of the 20th century's most memorable personalities: Manfred von Richthofen had what is now known as "star quality". Athletic and handsome, chivalrous and gallant, he was an inspiration to fellow pilots and countrymen alike. Even at this distance - his centenary was celebrated in 1992 - he remains the most famous fighter pilot in the history of aerial combat.
