Recounting the life of the "Neu-Neu" at the heart of the fighting and the daily lives of both pilots and mechanics, Un du Normandie-Niémen was an immediate success upon release and has been reprinted several times since.

Now out of print, this book — as lively as it is informative — is highly sought after by aviation enthusiasts. Heimdal now meets that demand with a large-format edition containing the complete original text, enriched with historical commentary to help readers better understand its various sections. Also included, thanks to the family of Roger Sauvage, is a large number of photographs, many of them taken by the aviator himself on the Eastern Front. Not forgetting the caricatures by Pierre Déchanet, the group's cartoonist and a friend of Roger Sauvage. This is the first time these drawings — capturing the daily life of the "Neu-Neu" with detail and humour — will be presented in their entirety.
