If you haven't read this, it's quite a good historical perspective of WWI, as well as detailing the extraordinary experiences of Richthofen. The latest Red Baron movie is available on the youtubes. I advise reading the book first because it's much more inclusive and factual. The movie is not bad from a historical perspective, but there's a fair amount of fictionalization as well.
