Roger Sauvage

Opis

One of Normandie-Nieman s aces with six confirmed victories, Roger Sauvage published this book shortly after his return to France, recounting his experience in the Franco-Russian fighter unit that became legendary in aviation history. Recounting the life of the Neu-Neu in combat as well as the daily life of the pilots and mechanics, Normandie-Neimen A s was a great success upon its release and has been reprinted several times thereafter.

Newly found, this book is instructive and much sought after by aviation enthusiasts. Today, Heimdal meets their expectations by offering a large format book including the original text, enriched with historical insights that better enable the reader to understand the squadron. Also, thanks to the family of Roger Sauvage, this book includes a large number of photos that were taken by the airman himself on the Russian front. Not to mention the caricatures of Peter Dechanet, group designer and friend of Roger Sauvage. This is the first time that these humorous drawings chronicling the life of the Neu-Neu will be presented in their entirety."
