Product Description: The mysterious events of April 21, 1918, the day the legendary Red Baron met his end, have kept the world captivated for decades.
There have been many theories, articles and books concerning exactly what took place but all previous accounts have been overshadowed by this groundbreaking book. Here is the definitive answer to one of history's most compelling mysteries.
Taking you straight to the site of Richthofen's final crash, leading aviation historian Norman Franks and pilot Alan Bennett dissect the evidence and expose what only eyewitnesses could see, complimented by a host of forensic and historical facts that illustrate in detail what actually occurred, when and how.
The Day the Mystery began Very imformative and very insightful look into the last hours of Von Richthofen's life and the events that surround his last flight, his death and the beginnings of the mystery of what happened that day.
Great documentary - a must for WWI aviation buffs like me An excellent piece of work and a must for WWI flying buffs like I am. I was disappointed at the Midwest Book Review comment though as it said - "Any collection strong in either aviation history or World War II events must have this: it holds newly discovered eyewitness accounts ...." this is an excerpt from the Midwest Book Review. The good people there at the Midwest Book Review office might not be aware that Manfred von Richthofen "The Red Baron" served in WWI and not WWII. Living in Germany, Wiesbaden in fact I had the rare opportunity to visit his (MvR's) grave site this past Friday. Submitted by Mark E. Grant, author of Blood of Scotland.
Any collection strong in either aviation history or World War II events must have this This completely updated edition of one of the unsolved mysteries of military aviation covers the last flight of the Red Baron, and uses the final crash scene and analysis by the author, a leading aviation expert, and a pilot to explore and support eyewitness observations. Any collection strong in either aviation history or World War II events must have this: it holds newly discovered eyewitness accounts and further backs evidence.
