Stick to research, chaps. - By: J. Busby, 30 Oct 2008 
Franks/Saunders may know everything about WWI aviation but they have a communication problem. They can't write English. They should reread Cole's biography of McCudden. They would then have an idea how to write a proper biography & would remind themselves that McCudden was not killed by a beginner's error but by a carburretor failure during an 'aces' takeoff.
This book has no discernible justification. The author's certainly don't provide one. There is nothing new here. They also don't mention an editor. Probably Grub Street is too mean to employ one but they could have checked their stuff before sending it off. Any other biography of Mannock is preferable to this.
mannock : another biography - By: John Hughes, 21 Sep 2008 
In as much as any further coverage of maj. Edard mannock v.c is to be welcomed,this volume adds little of new interest however,the section regarding the grave site of maj. mannock seems unnecessary & morbid.surely what is important & should be emphasised is his record as one britain's best ww1 fighter pilots & perhaps the best patrol leader of the war.
