- Synopsis
- The highest-scoring fighter pilot of World War I tells of his life and combat career in an autobiography that &“brings the man behind the myth to life&” (The Great War Magazine). Manfred von Richthofen—the Red Baron—was the most celebrated fighter pilot of the First World War, and was holder of the Blue Max, Pour le Mérite, Germany&’s highest military decoration. He was credited with 80 victories in the air, before being shot down in disputed circumstances at age 26. In this autobiography, Richthofen tells not only his own story but also that of his contemporaries, their duels in the sky, ever present danger, fame, honor and spiraling death.
