In his signature style, enjoyed by readers of Normandy and Bombing Nazi Germany, Vansant beautifully depicts the fearsome intelligence and mid-flight awareness that would earn Richthofen eighty documented air combat victories over the Western Front in the halcyon days of military aviation. From his beginnings as cavalry member and a pilot-in-training to the years he spent commanding Jasta 11 from the cockpit of his fabled red plane, to his eventual leadership of the ultra-mobile Jagdgeschwader 1 (aptly nicknamed "Richtofen's Flying Circus" by nervous foes because of the group's colorful airplanes and mobile airfields), The Red Baron brings the story of this legendary figure to life."-- Back cover. 941 $a 6 952 $l JSPB572 $d 20240323011052.0 952 $l PEPC626 $d 20230228010818.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201020546.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20210403010851.0 952 $l ZIPA815 $d 20170622150600.0 $m J940.4 VAN 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20160224010817.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=55EF08FEDAC411E58EE179B5DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
