If anyone is interested there is a translation of Richthofen's book "Der Rote Kampfflieger" on the War Times Journal website. (http://www.richthofen.com/ or http://www.wtj.com/index_flash.htm then ARCHIVES and Manfred von Richthofen.)

To quote the introduction, "This on-line edition of Manfred von Richthofen's 1917 book Der Rote Kampfflieger is based on the English language version originally translated by J. Ellis Barker and published in 1918 under the name The Red Battle Flyer."

It makes for interesting reading from the man himself. There is also a similar book on the same site written by Eddie Rickenbacker.
