Tento rozprávač je známy svojím rozmanitým zbieraním poviedok naprieč rôznymi žánrami. Jeho séria sa nezameriava na konkrétnu postavu alebo dejovú líniu, ale skôr na knihy poviedok, ktoré podnecujú čitateľovu predstavivosť. Diela tohto autora sú charakteristické neobvyklými témami, nezabudnuteľnými postavami a nečakanými zvratmi. Autor sa pohybuje s ľahkosťou medzi humorným a vážnym rozprávaním, pričom do svojich diel často vplietajú prvky založené na skutočných udalostiach, ale necháva na čitateľovi, aby rozlíšil, čo je skutočné a čo je fikcia. Jeho cieľom je vytvárať pútavé a zábavné príbehy, ktoré si čitatelia užijú.

This book presents the evolution and development of perhaps the most iconic German fighter of WWI--the Fokker Dr. 1 triplane or "Dreidecker." The Dr. 1 was born from experiments in cantilever monoplanes and the excellent combat record of the Sopwith triplane, which appeared at the western front at the end of 1916. Only 320 Fokker Dr.1s were built, yet their imprint on aviation history was and is far reaching and enduring--perhaps due to those who flew them. Baron Manfred von Richthofen and his brother Lothar, as well as Werner Voss, Ernst Udet, and many others, all flew the triplane, helping burnish their image in collective memory. This book highlights the design and construction of the legendary Dr. 1, as well as showcasing many flying replicas and where they can be found. Also included are selected museums from around the world where Dr. 1s can currently be seen.
