Need help finding Richthofen and Ernst Udet experts

I'm looking for Biographical Experts on WWI Aces Manfred Von Richthofen and Ernst Udet. The tricky part is that they have to be local to the Los Angeles area, and must be a published WWI aviation author or a college/university level instructor with credentials. I know a great deal myself about these pilots, but I'm not "officially" an "expert".

If any of you can recommend anyone, I would greatly appreciate it. I have been searching all over, but all of the people I am finding are in the UK or out of state. The expert/s may be used in a documentary regarding these pilots.

Thanks
Brian

I am in Northern California.

Brian:
I am knowledgeable about both men. I am an author, co-wrote, Schlachtflieger! I did an article for WW1 Aero about Ernst Udet. I appeared on the Video, "The Red Baron" produced by Greystone for the History Channel several years ago.
I live in Northern California, in Ceres, it just south of Modesto in the Central Valley. My e-mail address is <dansanabbott@sbcglobal.net>.
Merry Christmas,

Dan is your man for this job. Hey old friend that video was played on "Classroom" on the History Channel just 24hrs ago. Of course I have my own copy but it was a kick to see it again.
