We prove that the crossed group algebra A of the infinite dihedral group over the real field defined by the generators a and b, relations b−1 ab = a−1, b2 = −1, and λa = aλ, λb = bλ for all real λ is a principal left ideal ring. This corrects a result of Buzási and provides the missing step towards the classification of finitely generated torsion-free RG-modules for groups G which contain an infinite cyclic subgroup of finite index.
