Not necessarily a definitive source, but as a side note,  Frederick Libby of 11th Sqd. mentioned several times (Horses Don't Fly) how Ball seemed to show up at just the right time and saved the FE.2b s from perilous fights with the enemy. Libby showered a lot of admiration on Ball.
With shared admiration,
Fee 2b
