Based upon a wealth of carefully researched and verified documentation from the newly opened archives in East Germany, this riveting book traces the development of German fighter aviation from early single aircraft aerial ambushes to the massed attacks of the Jagdgeschwader I--the battle force that Richthofen developed into a highly effective air weapon. Examining the most celebrated WWI flying ace's role as air fighter, leader and strategist, the author delves deeper than anyone previously to find the truth behind the myths surrounding Richthofen for 70 years. Features never before published personal writings by the Red Baron, including his own Air Combat Operations Manual, along with observations from his comrades, admirers, and enemies. Includes striking full-color and numerous rare archive photos. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

I also liked reading about several other pilots of interest, such as Ernst Udet and Werner Voss. I didn't realize how hand-picked Richthofen's squadrons were, and that he expected the best from everyone. I liked the supplementary materials, as well, including a list of his 80 victories, and his personal rules to aerial combat.
All in all, a great read for me. ( )
