		As a military aviator, Wolfram Freiherr von Richthofen participated in a leadership role in two of the most important events in the shaping of World War II perceptions of the vulnerability of cities to air attack.
		Von Richthofen clearly understood the integration of fighter, level bomber, and dive bomber aircraft in what today's air combat planners term strike packages, and was a pioneer in the use of concentrated, high tempo air operations against a single target.
		Freiherr von Richtofen's military career started in 1913 as a cavalry officer, with a transfer to aviation in 1918, qualification as a pilot, and achievement of 8 kills in air-to-air combat over the Western Front.

		Richthofen's leadership energized his Fliegerkorps in the same manner his pithy diary propels this account, which shifts into high gear upon his arrival.
		Richthofen aimed to ensure success by reinforcing his old Fliegerkorps, VIII, now commanded by his protege, Martin Fiebig, with the bulk of the aircraft from Luftflotte 4's other Fliegerkorps, Pflugbeil's IV, in the Caucasus.
		Richthofen agreed with Fiebig: it was madness for Paulus and his staff to plan an all-around defense of Stalingrad and pin its hopes on the Luftwaffe to sustain their army.

		One of the most brilliant tactical air commanders of the war, von Richthofen (cousin of Manfred von Richtofen, the Red Baron of World War 1), was a daring, "lead from the front" officer along the lines of Rommel.
		Hayward details how, in the Crimean operations, von Richthofen worked successfully with his Army counterpart, Field Marshall Erich von Manstein to coordinate strong Luftwaffe close air support at critical schwerpunkts "spearpoints," which were areas of main emphasis and concentration.
		To his credit, once von Richthofen received his marching orders he did the best he could under the circumstances, applying the same determination and organizational skills to the airlift as he had to using his Stukas and Ju-88’s to blast a path for the Wehrmacht.
