Good read: The Red Fighter Pilot: The Autobiography of the Red Baron
http://www.amazon.com/Red-Fighter-Pilot-Autobiography-Baron/dp/097918133XIf you haven't read this, it's quite a good historical perspective of WWI, as well as detailing the extraordinary experiences of Richthofen. The latest Red Baron movie is available on the youtubes. I advise reading the book first because it's much more inclusive and factual. The movie is not bad from a historical perspective, but there's a fair amount of fictionalization as well.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
