Overview
Pierre Clostermann joined the Free French Forces in 1941 as a fighter pilot and later served as squadron leader in the RAF. Whether he is describing a deadly duel with a Focke-Wulf or the excitement of a 400-mile-an-hour strafing run at treetop level, Clostermann lets the reader share his experience.In the cramped cockpit of a flashing Spitfire you live the dangers, strains and exhilaration of 420 sorties against Nazi air and ground forces.
"THE BIG SHOW is no backward look but flying and fighting as it really happened...recorded at the end of each day's heated action with all the skill, speed and daring." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)
