After the threads on books written about the Red Barron, I think you should be interested in seeing the book he himself wrote : "Der rote Kampfflieger" by Manfred Freiherr von Richthofen.
This book has been first published in 1917.
After his death (April 1918), it has been published again in 1920 under the title "Ein Heldenleben".
Several editions followed, including one published in 1933, with an introduction by Hermann Goering.
Here is the 1st edition published in 1917 by Verlag Ullstein & Co - Berlin-Wien. In "gothic" German, with nice pics inside.
