There are also about 24 very large negatives (mostly 8”x10”) and about 120 smaller negatives (5”x7”) of German pilots and aircraft. Also included are two accordion file boxes containing numerous items pertaining to Richthofen and his mother, a copy of the Baron’s victory list, aircraft blueprints, an English translation of Baroness von Richthofen’s War Diary, scarce negatives, prints, correspondence, etc. An original 6”x9” pen and ink sketch of the Baron created by artist Jack Moses for Charles Donald is also included.
