I have always enjoyed Arch Whitehouse's books. I know he is considered to have been something of a charltain by some and/or to have included some "strechers" in his telling of a tale. (Hell, for that matter look at the state of modern journalism- reality all too often doesn't get in the way of a good story or an agenda.) Still, he WAS there. He saw a fair deal of campaigning and his books are entertaining and in their own light informative- although perhaps not in the detailed way of modern books on the subject.
It is a controversy that doesn't easily go away. In my mind his books have their place in the record of WW1 aviation and one that is somewhat underestimated.
