Re: Pierre Clostermann died today at 85
I regret his passing, but that is how it is...
How many RAF linebooks there must be which have priceless line-shoots for us to look at now, with little real understanding of the spirit of those who wrote them!
Let's start a movement to have the line-books published! Let's see again the spirit of those who went before, long-dead in many cases (no copyright!!!)
Of the few RAF line-books I have seen there are a few real gems which stop one in one's tracks... let's see them in print, please.
Lines like " ...and I could see the cross-hairs through her knickers" don't belong here (that's one I read...) but there are really some clever and insightful ones... and some hilariously under-stated ones too...
One day, maybe...
