Publisher's Summary

Manfred von Richthofen (1892 - 1918), also widely known as the Legendary Red Baron, was a German fighter pilot with the Imperial German Army Air Service during World War I. He is considered the ace of aces of that war, being officially credited with 80 air combat victories, more than any other pilot. The Red Baron only wrote one book, his "autobiography", Der Rote Kampfflieger. This was written on the instructions of the German Army Press and Intelligence (i.e. propaganda) section of the German Army Air Service. This book was written just before he was killed, and it details his meteoric rise from a cavalryman to one of the most well-known fighter pilots of all time.

Worth the read!

Not as detailed as I was hoping for, but very good nonetheless! Must've been difficult to accurately account whilst still fighting.

You can tell by the ending that he did not anticipate his death, which although disappointing, is understandable. Good performance too!
