Good afternoon Gentlemen,

thanks a lot for your many fascinating posts about this complicated topic. I will have a lot of fun working them through and cross-checking everything.

Dear Alfred Monzat: thanks for the document showing 19 Clostermann kills. I did not even know that something like this exists. Can you tell me the dates of the 14 shared kills ?

Cheers,

Michael

Yes, it shows six half-shares in the Tempest.
Does that mean that the missing eight shared kills (all Fw190's) were scored in the Spitfire ?

Re: French WW2 decimal score aces

...the new Clostermann article by Christophe Cony seems to indicate that Clostermann didn't score any shared aerial kills at all (?)

Indeed, only shared ground victories according to Avions' article.

Re: French WW2 decimal score aces

Good morning Gentlemen,

I just learned from Christophe Cony's Clostermann article that Bernard Dupérier's real name was Bernard Sternberg de Armella (see post 1).

Cheers,

Michael
