Three Wings for the Red Baron
Autor Leon Bennetten Limba Engleză Hardback – oct 2013
As a flier having to overcome a lack of talent for aerobatic manoeuvring, he chose the duel as a role model; pilot versus pilot. He learned that much could be achieved with a powerful single-seater machine against a low powered and poorly manoeuvring enemy two-seater. This became Richthofen's preferred form of combat, leading to an extraordinary series of victories.
With the advent of fully aerobatic combat, Richthofen was forced to rethink his approach. The chance sighting of an agile British Sopwith Triplane demanded a fresh response. He enlisted the services of Anthony Fokker to design a competing German Triplane.
This machine, the Red Baron's Three Wings, led to his final victories, and to his death. The special tactics employed by the Red Baron were crucial to the success of his Three Wings, in particular those downplaying speed and stressing agility. Numerous sketches included in the book serve to make the Red Baron's combat tactics clear.
Three Wings for the Red Baron represents an important contribution to the study of the Red Baron and World War I aerial combat tactics.
