"Sales/posting to the USA suspended". Hard cover dust wrapper, 345pp, b&w plates. Very light wear on dw/board edges; a near fine copy. The story of the air war over Europe from 1942 to the end of war. Clostermann originally served with the Alsace Squadron. When he was attached to the RAF, he served in Spitfire and Tempest squadrons, rose to command a Wing, and won the DFC and Bar and other decorations and flew no less than 420 operational sorties. Published in 1951, and with this updated editon in 2004 Clostermann's memoir of aerial combat was one of the first to emerge from WWII. Reflecting the perceptions of an extremely opinionated French volunteer in the RAF, The Big Show has been criticized for its unflattering portrayal of the U.S. Eighth Air Force, for some residual errors in names and events and above all for its author's victory claims. It is ironic that Clostermann accused the American fliers of grossly overclaiming while at the same time exaggerating his own air-to-air victory tally (33, although RAF records only confirm a still-commendable 11) and those of his squadron mates (for example, 15 for Kenneth Charney of No. 602 Squadron, against an official RAF confirmation of 6). Those caveats aside, The Big Show still retains its place among aviation classics because few, if any, WWII narratives match Clostermanns for putting the reader in the cockpit and realistically conveying the technical glitches, anxiety, exhilaration, terror and occasional ecstasy of combat.
