Hello!
Does
mention the ratio of 2-seater/single-seaters for Atkey and his observer in Brisfits? Recently I have heard reports that that squadrons of two-seaters were avoided in 1918 because they were seen as too great a threat! Perhaps the better pilots tackled the two-seaters as they were more dangerous. "Tommy, has to turn his back to go home some time." (Bloody Red) This is not the case if you have an observer like Gass (Atkeys observer) that could watch the air above and behind.
