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.

Well worth it

I have read the book a few times, and have needed to re-read it due to personal research, so thought I would get the audiobook to listen to it while at work, I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in The Great War (WW1) and anyone who is interested in the ace of aces Manfred Von Richthofen.
