[ Autographs ] MANFRED VON RICHTOFEN (1892 - 1918) "The Red Baron", German aviator of World War I and his country's top ace with over 80 "kills", he was shot down and killed by Canadian A. Roy Brown. An exceedingly rare war-date inscribed photo postcard and A.N.S: "Bar. Von Richtofen, Captain" showing Von Richtofen in hunting garb, standing over a dead moose. In the right corner Von Richtofen has written: "In the hunt ... guest of Brenner" and in the upper left corner he has made a five line inscription that is difficult to read, but making reference to the hunting lodge in the background as belonging to one "Bushrich". Mounting traces, as well as printer's markings on verso which may indicate that the image was once published very easy to read though signed against a somewhat dark background, very good.
