Pierre Clostermann's "The Big Show" was always one of my top books. I recently discovered that there's a newer version "Le Grand Cirque 2000" - in French unfortunately but I'm struggling through it. There's about twice the material in it than the original "Big Show", including how he joined the RAF, training etc. Plus some rather irate views on the inaccuracy of the 8th Air Force when they were bombing French rail yards surrounded by French civilian housing. I believe it goes on to his post-war flying in Algeria, but I havn't got that far yet. Great Book.. .. .Also try "Rene Mouchotte, mes Carnets" (Rene Mouchottes logbooks) if you want more Free French fighter pilot's stories. Mouchotte commanded the Biggin Hill wing at one point but was killed in 1943.
