Re: New Book on Elwyn Righetti

I just finished reading this book. Well written, a little bit wordy on some of the personal life stories, but detailed.

Wonder if there have been any further research done and/or crash site location. More and more sleuthing being performed and websites with info on crash sites since the Internet. Would hope his aircraft will show up someday.

Re: New Book on Elwyn Righetti

New and new ? I bought my copy seven years ago. He was a good pilot and very agressive. He considered every train to be a troop train and was responsible for a lot of dead civilians.
