See The Cross & Cockade (International) Journal, Vol. 24, No. 1 for details regarding 55 Sqn. RAF. This is at least one reference.

William Earle Johns was born on 5 February 1893 and was the author of almost 100 Biggles books starting with the Camels are Coming in 1932. It was reading Biggles books instead of listening to the vicar's sermons each Sunday that got me hooked on WWI aviation over 30 years ago. Johns died on 21 June 1968 aged 75.
