Pierre Clostemann
Hi Nick - I think its about time one or two of our French experts stepped in, don't you? So I've headed this Clostermann rather than Beurling.
I know very little about medals and even less about Clostermann's postwar career. Did he remain in the air force? Could some of those be postwar awards? It looks to me as though there are a couple of Russian medals included. Any ideas? Was Clostermann commissioned into the RAF or did he just wear honourary insginia? I believe I have seen a photo with squadron leaders tags but that would have necessary
made him a a sqn ldr, perhaps acting sqn ldr or acting flight lieutenant.
Come on Laurent, Joss and others - have your say!
Cheers
Brian
