A pictorial history of the infamous German World War I air force pilot, by the author of Dieppe: The Greatest Air Battle.

There are numerous books covering the life of Rittmeister Manfred Freiherr von Richthofen, and he has remained at the forefront of World War I studies. In commemoration of one hundred years since the beginning of the war, author Norman Franks introduces a new collection of photographs covering the entire span of von Richthofen’s war (most of which will have been seen but spread over a variety of literature about First World War flying), consolidated in one book.

In the time since the release of Franks earlier titles on a similar theme, a constant trickle of new information has filtered down to him. Although none of it specifically challenges the conclusions drawn in earlier publications, in consolidating them here, he’s been able to preserve some significant notes of interest.

Following several visits to Belgium and Northern France, Franks has managed to acquire additional images, illustrating the places in which the Red Baron lived and fought between 1916 and 1918. This collection covers the entire span of von Richthofen’s recorded history in pictures, some new and lesser known, some iconic and widely circulated, and all housed here under one roof for the very first time.

“If you are a Red Baron fan, this book is a must-have. Even if you are new to the topic, the text provides an excellent introduction to his career.” —The Miniatures Page

“In summation, The Red Baron: A History in Pictures is recommended.” —Over the Front
