Baron Manfred Von Richthofen

Postby Avro » Sun Feb 13, 2011 6:01 am

Within hours after the famous German air ace Manfred von Richthofen was shot down in 1918, the wreck of his Fokker Dreidecker fighter-plane was stripped bare by souvenir-hunters. However, a rare collection of some related artifacts were preserved and placed on display in the RCMI, Toronto, Canada. See further details here. http://warwriting.blogspot.com/2009/08/ ... om-of.html
