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. |
***Great historical material g-friend,thank you for pointing us in the right direction,despite the passage of time Richthofen continues to intrigue historians,the hunter of the skies and his name will live on forever.
