Re: Clostermann shot down?
Have you ever read on an air combat report the code of an E/A shot down?
Well, we do have quite a lot of examples:
1- Mike Boleslaw Gladych was twice shot down by a German fighter with the number "13".
2- I remember seeing on a Discovery Channel documentary about the ACES an American ace and F-86 Sabre pilot mentioning a Mig 15 he shot down over Korea that has a Dragon painted on its side.
I do remember other actions but had to check on my books to put correctly here. It is not unusual, if pilots came in very close to their victims before opening fire...( If my memory do not fail me, a certain Dunn - an American who fought with the RAF during the Battle of Britain and who later wrote a book of his memories remembers shooting down a Me 109 with brownish codes on its sides...I will check to post later here ).
Cheers Adriano
