I suppose its almost too obvious. James Norman Hall (Spa 124, 103 Prusuit Squadron) and Charles Nordhoff (N99). Who co-authored, among others, the "Lafayette Flying Corp", "Falcons of France", "Farey Lands of the South Seas" and probably most well known, "The Bounty Trilogy" from which sprang several films over a period of 60+ years. Hall had written "Kitcheners Mob" and "High Adventure" during the war, the latter being published while he was a POW. Nordhoff had written several articles for "Atlantic Monthly" while serving the French in N99. Nordhoff closed the war serving as Editor in Chief of the immense "Gorrell's History" of the United States Air Service.
