THE NEW YORK TIMES, February 18, 1918
* Manfred von Richthofen - Red Baron
* Rare mention - German fighter pilot
* World War I - WWI
Page 9 has small and somewhat discrete one column headings: "Aviators' Roll Of Honor" "Germany Lists 28 Who Have Downed 12 or More Machines" with text including: "...It is headed by Major Baron von Richthofen with sixty three..." Very rare to find mention of this famous German fighter pilot, especially prior to his death. He would end up with 80 air combat victories.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 18 pages, light browning, some margin wear and a few front page tape mends, otherwise good. Should be handled with care.
