He was the most feared fighter pilot of the First World War. He became a legend in a red aircraft. He died chasing one last victim too low over enemy lines.

Manfred von Richthofen - the Red Baron - remains the most famous airman in history. To his enemies he was the red machine in the sky. To Germany he became proof that victory could still be counted, named, and celebrated. To the men who flew with him, he was not simply a symbol, but a disciplined hunter who turned air combat into method.

RED BARON tells the story behind the legend: the aristocratic cavalry officer whose first arm was made obsolete by modern war; the observer who learned to read battlefields from above; the pupil of Oswald Boelcke who mastered the laws of air combat; the commander who forged Jasta 11 and the Flying Circus into one of the deadliest fighter formations of the war; and the wounded ace who returned to the front under growing pressure, fame, and expectation.
