The Big Show-Unabridged--Comments?

[Christer Bergström]

Since I have written the biographies on Hermann Graf (published in August 2003) and on Walter Schuck (due to be published in 2006), it pleases me to find that in this unabriged edition of "The Big Show" (published in 2004, the foreword dated September 2003):

a) "Major Graff" is finally "removed", and

b) Pierre Clostermann's actual meeting with Walter Schuck is mentioned

After all these years with the "Major Graff" story, leading to the almost classical question "was Hermann Graf shot down by Martell" (a subject which is closely examined in the Graf & Grislawski books), Clostermann now finally - on page 50 in the 2004 unabrdiged edition, concludes:

"Later we learned that it was not Graff. . ."

And about Schuck. . . Well, he isn't mantioned by name, but at least due to Schuck himself, it was Walter Schuck. I'll tell you on which page later. . .
