# The Red Battle Flyer

By Manfred Richthofen, Freiherr von.

"The Red Battle Flyer" by Freiherr von Manfred Richthofen is a memoir written in 1917. The legendary German fighter pilot, known as the Red Baron, recounts his experiences in aerial combat during World War I. Written under military propaganda directives and subjected to wartime censorship, this firsthand account offers glimpses into the life of history's top-scoring ace. Richthofen completed the book shortly before his death in combat in 1918, making it his only published work. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
