Re: Clostermann shot down?
Franeck, I have just listed several sources other than the ORB which should have produced evidence of this alleged encounter, but do not. Therefore I am not "only refering to the ORB".
Furthermore, in my British edition of 'The Big Show' (1951) there is no record of any action after the combat of 20 April until the attack on Schwerin. And by the way, 3 sSn did indeed attack Schwerin on 1 & 2 May but Clostermann is not recorded as having taken part. He did take part in an armed recce the next day and in the afternoon led an attack on Grossenbrode. However there is no sign in RAF records of the "6 out of 8" Tempests lost attacking Schwerin (as claimed in 'The Big Show'). 3 Sqn lost just one in the first 3 days of May!
