In 1942 he went to England and enlisted eventually being assigned to the No. 341 "Alsace" Squadron before transferring to the No. 602 "City of Glasgow". Clostermann had three Spitfires all LO-D with his last one being IXc MJ526. The aircraft wore the Glasgow red lion, the French Croix de Lorraine and was stationed at Longues sur Mer airfield mid 1944. He later flew Hawker Tempests with the RAF No. 274 Squadron.

Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX

Designed by R.J.Michell to meet a British Air Ministry specification, the Supermarine Spitfire first flown on March 5th, 1936. With its combination of beautiful fighter design, the excellent performance of its Rolls-Royce Merlin powerplant and firepower provided by twin cannons and four machine guns, the Spitfire became an unrivaled symbol of victory. The Spitfire had 40 major variants and was built in greater numbers than any other British aircraft of the time. It flew operationally on every front between 1939 and 1945 and was engaged in every one of the Royal Air Force's major actions.
