About this audiobook
This is Der Rote Kampfflieger, The Red Air Fighter, the wartime memoir of Manfred von Richthofen, the German fighter pilot who became known to history as the Red Baron.
Written during the First World War, the book follows Richthofen from his early service as a cavalry officer to his rise as Germany’s most famous air ace. He describes his first flights, his training under Oswald Boelcke, the development of aerial combat, and the battles in which he built his reputation above the Western Front.
The memoir offers a rare firsthand view of the earliest years of fighter aviation, when pilots flew fragile machines without parachutes, fought at close range, and developed the tactics of aerial warfare while the conflict was still unfolding.
