Von Richthofen’s Flying Circus

This book initiates a series of special publications from Albatros which specifically covers colours and markings of World War One aeroplanes rather than placing the emphasis on technical data and scale plans which distinguish our other titles. That there is a demand for such colour material is demonstrated by the growing worldwide interest in WWI aeroplane modelling of all kinds, an interest which continually demands hard information.
That this book will prove popular we have no doubt. German WWI fighter pilots have enormous appeal especially those leading lights such as the von Richthofen brothers, Voss, Udet and others, so no apologies are offered for selecting the four units that comprised JG\, 'von Richthofen's Flying Circus', for our first Fabric volume. Such treatment of these units has rarely been found between the covers of a single volume, nor so many colour schemes for their aeroplanes collectively offered.
