Well, if it is not, then it will be no great loss, as  Flying Fury is an interesting read in any case. The language is a bit twee in places, and probably not the kind of thing that was really said when lead was flying around - lots of 'by jove!' and that kind of thing - and it was quite heavily censored as most wartime writings were, but it is nonetheless a thing worth having. Be prepared to be shocked how quickly McCudden is made a flying instructor too!
