Re: Pierre Clostermann - tour expiration date

You beat me too it Laurent - a lot of people seem to accept it as 100% accurate, but of course it is just a well written read, of historical interest, but certainly not a history book.

My late father purchased the first English version of The Big Show when it came out, and we have the updated version, as it was at the time of first publication the first written record of the activities of 125 Airfield/125 Wing which he served on from May 1944 to July 1945, when it disbanded, after an immediate post-war tour at B.160 Kastrup/Copenhagen, and,like Clostermann, he was then posted to 122 Wing, which had replaced 125 Wing at B.160 Kastrup/Copenhagen.

cheers

Allan
