Here, for the first time, the most complete backgrounds of the men he fought and accounted for in air battle are documented. In most cases this includes place and dates of birth, where they lived, were educated and worked, and then when they joined the colours. Many served in army regiments or other military units prior to joining the Royal Flying Corps or Royal Naval Air Service and their full service records, where known, are included. The later lives of those who survived the encounter with the Red Baron are also fully reported.
For years there have been controversies covering some of the Baron's victims but these have now been resolved to the authors' satisfaction, so presented here is his full list of victories and victims which will surprise most commentators. More valuable still is the fact that over 100 of the 123 men concerned are depicted by photographs, in itself a unique compilation of material. These are complemented marvelously by the ten colour paintings, by Chris Thomas, which illustrate decisive moments in battle. With a full explanation of the air actions themselves using von Richthofen's own
combat reports, and a minibiography of each victim, this book will be the ultimate for World War One historians and collectors of Richthofen reference and memorabilia. |
