...ramshackle plot concerns Von Richthofen's destiny after he makes his 80th kill. Some of his fellow officers and the unseen General Erich Ludendorff urge him to retire from the Flying Circus so that he may present himself as the untarnished hero-leader of postwar Germany's resurrection.

Died. Dr. Mathilde Ludendorff, 89, bizarre German psychiatrist, famed throughout Europe in the early 1900s for her free-swinging approach to sex in such books as Erotic Rebirth, who later turned strident nationalist, blaming Germany's World War I defeat on Masons, Jesuits and, most particularly, Jews, and toured the country in flowing robes embroidered with Nordic symbols, preaching hate and accusing Hitler of being too far left; after pneumonia; in Tutzing, Germany...
