What is the MOST AUTHORITATIVE book on Richthofen?
Hello,
When I was an aerospace engineering student at Wichita State University from 1985-1989, I checked out a book on the life of the Red Baron at the WSU library. It was a large book (more than 8.5X11) and I could tell that it was old , perhaps published in the forties or fifties. I remembered that the book is LOADED with rare pictures from his flying days to his death. Sadly, someone stole the book from the library. I for the next 10 years have not come across a book that has so many pictures of RB. Anyone know this book or know of any books that is the most comprehensive on his life? Thnk you. Dai

I had a similar thing happen to me. I checked out a book aat the local library" Fighting the Flying Circus" by Eddie Richenbacker It looked as though it was signed by him! When I went back to reread it it was missing and the name was smugged on the records
.I may have other titles but I was able to lay my hands on 3. The Red Baron edited by Stanley Ulanoff This is an Air Combat Classic printed in 1969. " Manfred Von Richthofen The Man and the Aircraft He Flew" David Baker. Outline Press 1990 and " Under the Guns of the REd Baron" Norman Franks, Hal Giblin and Nigel McCrery. Barns and Nobel Books 1998.
