The Red Knight of Germany

Om The Red Knight of Germany

Baron Manfred von Richthofen, Germany's renowned First World War flying ace, was known as 'The Red Knight' or more the war as 'The Red Baron' due to the colour of his Albatros aeroplane. He was attributed with eighty 'kills' before losing his life inaction in 1918. Written by a remarkable war correspondent, Floyd Gibbons, shortly after the cessation of hostilities, The Red Knight is a fascinating insight into the life of this most ruthless and talented war pilot. Gibbons had access to extensive first-hand sources including personal letters from von Richthofen to his mother. He also interviewed airmen who had survived aerial combat with the uncompromising von Richthofen, who wrote before his death, 'I have not found a happier hunting ground than the Battle of The Somme'. He is widely hailed as the 'greatest fighter pilot who has ever lived' - Lord Ashcroft KCMG PC
