Re: French WW2 decimal score aces
Good morning Gentlemen,
fron Many Souffan I learned that Foucaud scored all his kills in a Yak-9. Clostermann's score is a mess in the sources: This website says 17 but it includes 4 ground kills (3May1945) and two from his logbook =11 http://www.cieldegloire.com/004_clostermann.php This website says 22 or 33 http://frenchaces.pagesperso-orange.fr/as/m+c.html This website says 33 but it includes 6 shared 7 probables and one which is suggested by himself = 19+6sh https://www.lesasdelaluftwaffe.fr/au...i-clostermann/ This website says 19+6sh with 12+6 in the Tempest which includes 1 probable = 18+6sh http://www.hawkertempest.se/index.ph...53-clostermann According to this website http://www.pierre-clostermann.com/victoires.html the French seem so have acknowledged 33 victories (19+14sh) whereas 23 kills seem to have been acknowledged by the RAF. He seems to have conducted a lawsuit for that. I wonder if my French is sufficient to understand all that correctly. Cheers, Michael |
