To his enemies he was the red machine in the sky. To Germany he became proof that victory could still be counted, named, and celebrated. To the men who flew with him, he was not simply a symbol, but a disciplined hunter who turned air combat into method. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRED BARON tells the story behind the legend: the aristocratic cavalry officer whose first arm was made obsolete by modern war; the observer who learned to read battlefields from above; the pupil of Oswald Boelcke who mastered the laws of air combat; the commander who forged Jasta 11 and the Flying Circus into one of the deadliest fighter formations of the war; and the wounded ace who returned to the front under growing pressure, fame, and expectation. \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom the dogfights over the Somme to Bloody April, from the duel with Lanoe Hawker to the mystery of who really killed the Red Baron, this is a serious, cinematic account of skill, ambition, command, propaganda, and mortality in the first great air war. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is not a romanticised tale of knights in the sky.
