Summary
Manfred von Richthofen became a fighter pilot on the Western Front in August 1916. By January 1917, Richthofen had shot down fifteen aircraft and had been appointed commander of his own unit. He painted the fuselage of his Albatros D-III bright red and was nicknamed the Red Baron.
This book is divided into three sectors of the WWI front line in which von Richthofen operated. Airfield sites, memorials, and the graves of Manfred’s famous victims are described with directions for the battlefield walker.
