Backmatter
Manfred Freiherr von Richthofen was the most feared and celebrated of all German pilots in World War I, and has become one of the iconic figures of history. This book by three respected historians, released to coincide with a major motion picture entitled The Red Baron, has researched in detail the lives of all of his 123 victims (over 100 of whom are depicted) and provides a blow-by-blow account of their encounter with the great man - a unique compilation of material.
Table of Contents
There is no TOC as such, just a list of the dates on which Richthofen shot down each plane. I will not reproduce it here, but his career of aircraft shot down began on September 17, 1916 and ended on April 20, 1918. (He himself was shot down and killed on April 21, 1918.
