Von Richtohofen was far from a natural born pilot but he learned rapidly and became highly proficient. Over the years many people have tried to present him as a man who could not have achieved his 80 recorded victories without the support of his Jasta pilots and the subject of the Red Baron's last flight is surrounded by argument and discussion.
In this book, the authors trace what either happened in fact, or where there is doubt, to apply a logical approach to suggest the most plausible answer. They deal with the trained, instinctive reactions of an aircraft pilot, and portray as simple an overview of the 21 April 1918 as can be written down in order for the reader to follow easily and clearly the events of that day.
Contains black and white photographs and flight plan illustrations.
