Greetings ladies and gentlemen,
I found the Clostermann's story over the internet. Hope you'll enjoy. (Pierre H. Clostermann... a French Ace with a German name, born in Brazil, and flying for the RAF... Could it be more messy ?)
33 victories total (14 individual).
Born in February 28th 1921 in Curitiba (Brazil). Initiated to flight by the German master Karl Benitz, he received his pilot licence in 1937. Enlisted in the Free French Forces in 1942 and assigned to Free French Forces 341 Squadron in January 1943. Sent to 602 Squadron in September 1943, then sent to the Tempest equiped 274 Squadron in January 1945. He is named Squadron Commander of the 56 Squadron in March and end the war with 3 Squadron.
