The Red Baron's Last Flight
While The Red Baron's Last Flight has all the qualities of a textbook - dry and aged facts, paired with antiquated maps and grainy photos - it reads as a mystery novel. The initial chapters are concerned with Baron von Richthofen's Ace reputation and the circumstances of WWI that brought German forces against the Allies in Northern France in March 1918. The setting having been established, the numerous claims for downing the infamous red Fokker Dr.I triplane are then chronologically doled out. As each new claim is revealed, inaccuracies and inconsistencies are (sometimes comically) exposed through the authors' insight and proofs. As this is the first book I've read on the Red Baron, I can't comment on the qualitative accuracy or any bias on the part of the authors. However, it seems that Franks and Bennett were thorough in their investigation and I am convinced of the identity of the one true claimant.
