Air Power Editions aim is to produce books covering subjects of interest related to military and aviation history that would perhaps not ordinarily be taken on by other publishers. Their latest monograph concerning Rittmeister Manfred von Richthofen is by James F. Miller.

Hi Stephen
I have just ordered this from the Aviation book shop, I have been emailing Jim for the last week or so, about some information on the Albatros C1X. this has some incredible info in it by the looks of it, so its an order well worth placing, thanks for reviewing it.

Here is a bit of support from the Grand Fellow himself Alex Revell.
"I think the book is excellent. Jim is to be congratulated on a fine job, all round. One of the best, most refreshing books on von R I've read. I've noted the corrections, but that happens in the best of books, unless they are very carefully copy edited by someone who is familiar with the subject matter. One thing I did notice was the ubiquitlous use of 'ubiquitous'. Sorry about that Jim, just a little joke.
Regards
Alex"
