Yes, It is Fiction

The book does not proport to be fact. This was a style choice by the author...suspension of disbelief. It is indeed a great story.

Pity it can't be true...

This book purports to be a true account of a British WWI ace's postwar adventures, but despite a few years of effort I have been unable to turn up the name of William Bede O'Malley on any list of British WWI aces - which often include pilots with lower scores than the 32 victories O'Malley is said to have had. The same is true regarding Conrad von Kern and the German lists.I am forced to conclude that, alas, it is all fiction.It's still a great story though.
