The one on the bycycle was taken the day his father was there at Jasta 11. The boys put on a show and brought down a Spad VII. Its tails up in the distance.

The shot of MvR on a horse was from the Donald collection and used in the P.J. Carisella book "Who Killed the Red Baron?" Supposedly it went into private hands after Carisella's death. It was prewar and he was in the middle of a jump.

On horseback ....
Hello Rob,


I think this is the one of Manfred on horseback (left). He is seen at the horse trials held in Breslau in 1913.



Greetings,


Jos
