Re: 109 recce - victim of Pierre Clostermann over Scapa Flow...
In my old edition of The Big Show the chapter starts to the effect if this was a Victorian novel it would be called The unexpected consequences of a game of chess. As such once I got a copy of the combat report I have always assumed Pierre included a unique combat in his book based on what he was told by Bennetts, whatever the book is still gripping written by a man who did not shirk his duty.
The Big Show refers to Ian Blair but the combat report (poor copy) looks more like J.Blair.
