Pierre Clostermann, WWII French top ace, just passed away.

RIP

he was an inspiration, and a good man.

HE never surrendered.

RIP Sir, I've read your book "the Big Show" at least 20 times when I was a teenager.

An inspiration to all. His open and honest accounts of strafing the heavily flak defended german airfields were gut-wrenching: those actions terrified him yet he never flinched.
