Hi all,

I looked in some of my reference books such as Mein Flieger Leben, Jagd in Flanderns Himmel, Flieger am Feind, Jagdstaffel and Der Schwartze Ritter. Two were pertinent to our discussion; Mein Flieger Leben and Jagd in Flanderns Himmel.

I'm not well versed in German so this was a challenge, but I did find these pages from Udet's Mein Flieger Leben;

Page 67,



Page 68,



Could one of our more well versed German forum members translate those passages that are pertinent to Richthofen's Dr.I?

Thank you!

Best,
Dave W.

I could not find any passages citing 477/17 or "all-red" or "blood-red" or any "red" Dr.I's for Richthofen for the month of March in any passages of Bodenschatz's Jagd in Flanderns Himmel. I would be pleased if someone would prove me wrong.

Dan-San, did you find any passages from Flanderns Himmel describing "red" triplanes from the March time period? If so which pages? Thank you!
