Re: Pierre Clostermann's victories
Hallo,
" Le Grand Cirque" was one of my favorite books when i was a kid. I am still believing that it is one of the best aviation books.
I spent two hours yesterday reading this very interesting article written by Cony. He has access to primary sources (including from Clostermann family) and give us a complete story of the life of Clortermann. Cony made a careful account of all the planes shoot down (with each time comparison with the actual german losses) or destroyed on the ground by Clostermann.
On the other side each of the Spitfire and Tempest flown by Clostermann are illustrated with a lot of new photos and very good art works.
Cony gave me the willing to read once more time "Le Grand Cirque".
