[WWI] What's your favorite OT memoir?

[Brad & Merville]

Winged Victory by V.M. Yeates is a very thinly disguised memoir of the 
author's time with 46 Sqdrn.  Only the names have been changed to protect 
the guilty.  "Mad Mac" is the Canadian ace Don Mclaren.  I'll leave it to 
Bob Pearson to tell you  about the Bandy Papers, not an actual memoir, but 
they should be!

...for the record, at least 27 of Billy Bishop's victories were confirmed by 
ground units.  Some others were backed up by other pilots.  Roughly half 
were taken at his "word" when he was allowed to "hunt" alone.  Like Voss' 
cowl colour and MvR's vanquisher, we shall never really know.
