Default von Richthofen's "The Red Fighter Pilot" available online

Manfred von Richthofen's book "The Red Fighter Pilot" seems to be available for reading on this site:
http://richthofen.com/

Enjoy

Also, check the Archives section, seems to be other nice stuff there too.

Thanks for that. I'd be quite interested in his cousin too, Wolfram I think his name is. A big figure for the Condor Legion. Quite a family.
