The Big Show-Unabridged--Comments?

[Calimero jr.]

The last version of "The Big Show" corrects many errors (about JG or german pilots...) that were present in the first editions. As said above, Clostermann couldn't use the decades of WWII research we have now to write his book.
As for someone mentioning dogfights with "hordes of Ta-152 in July 1944", I'm sorry but I don't find that in the book (I have the original and the "2000" editions). Clostermann describes many fights against Fw-190 D-9 while flying Tempests in 1945 but not against Ta. In the original edition it is possible that he talks about "long-nosed" FW over Normandy, which of course is a mistake as the type wasn't operational yet.

For sure it's still one of the best and most vivd aerial WWII accounts I've read.
