Well Manfred  the iconic Red Baron  has constantly remained at the forefront of First World War studies and  in commemorating the one hundred years that have elapsed since the beginning of hostilities  it seems like a good time to introduce a new arrangement of photographs covering the entire span of von Richthofens war (most of which will have been seen  but spread over a whole variety of books and magazines about First World War flying)  consolidated in one book.  In the time that has elapsed since the release of Franks earlier titles on a similar theme  a constant trickle of new information has filtered down to him. Although none of it specifically challenges the conclusions drawn in earlier publications  in consolidating them here hes been able to preserve some significant notes of interest.  Following a number of visits to Belgium and Northern France in recent years  Franks has managed to acquire additional images  illustrating the places in which the Red Baron lived and fought between 1916 and 1918. This collection represents the entire span of von Richthofens recorded history in pictures  some new and lesser-known  some iconic and widely circulated; all housed here under one roof  for the very first time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44962841428021,"sku":"ByrdShop_1473861225","price":37.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781473861220.jpg?v=1770398067","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-red-baron-a-history-in-pictures","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
