4.0 out of 5 stars
A qiuck review,
By impatrick@hotmail.com (U.S. Army officer, Ft. Bragg NC (Bosnia)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Red Baron Combat Wing: Jagdgeschwader Richthofen in Battle (Hardcover)
The author presents a chronological order of events that mark ww1 aviation. Four stars are given to the exceptional factual accounts of specific air fighting episodes. Author typically has between 80-120 sources at the end of each chapter(biography). This "just the facts" book is an excellent reference to any ww1 enthusiasts library. Very detailed account of peripheral information regarding the war in the air. On the down side...for those interested in flowery story telling, they will be disappointed by the book's lack of flowery descriptions of air combat. I find this point a good point since only those actually fighting in the air could ever accurately describe the aura of air battle.

A Brief Review,
By Michael J. Mohn (Pennsylvania PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Red Baron Combat Wing: Jagdgeschwader Richthofen in Battle (Hardcover)
Peter Kilduff is such an experienced writer and researcher of WWI aces and their experiences. This book follows that format and is well documented. As a Richthofen fan it is amazing to get the details of all the men he shaped during combat. Don't look for detailed accounts but rather a chronology of actions, air combats and results. Great glimpse into a time long passed.
