Pierre Clostermann, a French fighter ace, became known worldwide thanks to his book 'The Big Show'. One of the aircraft he flew during his military career
was Spitfire MJ586. Clostermann´s score is painted on the fuselage below the canopy. It consists of seven confirmed, three probable and seven damaged
enemy aircraft. French sources credit Closterman with 20 kills The total tally for Clostermann have been a topic of debate. Post war French confirmed
numbers are inconsistent with those of wartime documentation in British archives, thanks mainly due to different practises between the two air forces. At the
end of WWII, Clostermann flew Tempests with No. 3 Squadron RAF. Note the squadron badge on both sides of the engine cowling.
