I'm reading Arch Whitehouse's "Legion of the Lafayette" again, and so far it doesn't seem particularly horrible, other than typical 1950s assumptions in aircraft desgnations and description -- Nieuport 11s are listed as 17s, Albatross instead of Albatros, etc. What's the conventional wisdom on this book?
