The Big Show
When The Big Show was first published, paper rationing meant that the text had to be heavily cut. Now, for the first time, this international bestseller has been returned to its complete, and breathtaking, original state. Pierre Clostermann was a Free French fighter ace who flew with the RAF during the Second World War. Over the course of five years he engaged in hundreds of dog-fights, shot down scores of Luftwaffe planes, escorted American bombers on some of the most dangerous raids of the war, and watched many of his friends falling to their deaths in the skies over the Channel. The Big Show, his incredible account of the air war over Britain and France, has become one of the most famous memoirs of the Second World War. Now in its original state, it contains everything one could wish for in a war memoir: wonderfully observed descriptions of wartime Britain, frighteningly evocative stories of in-the-cockpit action, an amazing cast of characters, and all the drama and bravery of a man fighting a desperate war thousands of feet above the ground. An undeniable classic.

Summary of Pierre Clostermann's The Big Show
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We had arrived at Rednal, No. 61 O. T. U. We were soon to be pilots under training at the R. A. F. college at Cranwell, dragging around manuals on navigation and armaments. #2 My instructor let me fly a Spitfire for 60 minutes. I was terrified, but I remember feeling how light the plane was on the controls. #3 I had flown a Spitfire, and it was beautiful. I felt alive. I dreamt of the day when I would have a Spitfire of my own, to take into combat, which would hold my life within the confines of its cockpit. #4 The final three weeks of training were at Montford Bridge, a small satellite airfield lost in the hills. We flew constantly, and the cold was extremely harsh. We lived in Nissen huts that had no insulating walls, and keeping warm was a constant struggle. New Year’s Eve was quiet and slightly sad.
