With eighty Air to Air victories (Confirmed), The Legendary Red Baron became in his own short lifetime, someone who was both feared and respected by those he flew against, while being feted by Imperial Germany in a way like no other before or since. 

To this day he is Regarded as one of the most well known fighter pilots of all combatants to ever see action flying Fighters, and is what Guy Gibson or Leonard Cheshire are today to Bomber Pilots.

His fame has justly spread all across the world, with von Richthofen being seen as both the ultimate Airborne hunter and a by word for chivalry and honour to your enemy in a time of War.

While there is much known about this German aristocrat from Prussia, what this book accomplishes is a unique pictorial record of von Richthofen's lifetime. Through a unique collection of photographs some of which have never been published before, the life and times of this famous airman is laid out year by year. From the time of his birth in 1892, and his early childhood with family photographs as a baby to an adult, through to his enlistment and service in the Great War - starting with his service as a cavalry officer who saw action on both the Eastern and Western fronts. From this point in his life it moves onto cover his flying career, shooting down the Aircraft of RFC Ace Major Lanoe Hawker VC in 1916 and surviving being shot down and wounded in July 1917 are some of the many areas of interest that are detailed within this book. Also covered are the details on the many different types of aircraft he trained and operated on, as well as those he flew with or who he shot down. This extensive collection provides an unrivalled window into the life of one of history’s most talented and skilled pilots that ever took to the sky.
