This is a head's up for those who also have an interest in the history of the aircraft we model and the people who flew them. I hit Barnes & Noble this afternoon and low and behold there is a new edition of Pierre Clostermann's "The Big Show" on the shelf. I first read this when I was in middle school, around about 1950-52. This is a complete and unabridged edition with 8 pages of photographs, a new introduction and 8 appendices. If you want to know what it was like to strap your butt into a Hawker Tempest and go hunting long nosed Focke-Wolves this is the book to tell you.
