Hello,

I don't think many of you know this name; but in addition to being a great star of French music in the 80s, Herbert Leonard had a secret passion: aviation!
He was a renowned expert, especially on Soviet aviation in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s.

I had the opportunity to chat with him several times. He was kind, helpful, and very approachable, always willing to answer questions from a troublesome modeler (me 😁 ).
Thank you for our discussions and thank you for your help, Mr. Leonard.
 
RIP

Wish I had gotten to know him. His Russian collection looks similar to my WW2 Allied Aircraft collection of books for reference. No internet in my day.
