Since I’ve now completed my tribute to WWI pilot Captain D.V. Armstrong, perhaps it would be good to post an image of the cover of Flight Fantastic and a few of the reviews it received.

Captain Armstrong’s story features on pp. 57-9 together with a portrait of his all-red Sopwith Camel (see DVA sub-page). Having to rely on secondary sources meant that some of details I found were incorrect. Happily my new authorized biography sets the record straight.

The book was published in 1986 when I was Team Manager of the British Aerobatic Team at the FAI World Championships; it has 320 pages and so many illustrations (colour and b/w) that I’ve never counted them. Apparently it’s over 350.

I thought I would add some reviews because I’ve never seen any in cyberspace – this was long before online bookselling of course.
