All I know is the RFC was full of brave young guys who had a life expectancy as fighter pilots that was about 4 weeks long, but they loved to fly and fight if they had to fight at all.

I hope you hit the library Kemp, for I am sure most libraries will have either the books you need or the access to them. Not everything is on the net, and when it comes to history, books are the way to go.

Take note also Kemp, the little known fact that 5 out of the top 10 aces in the RFC/RNAS were Canadians. Billy Bishop was the top surviving ace and second to only "Mick" Mannock. Also, as you do your research, you will come across the RNAS's history as well, and you might want to include that. The idea of the Triplane fighter that we think of as the Red Baron's famous plane was originally from the Sopwith Tripes that the RNAS flew. Ray Collishaw, a Canadian flew with his countrymates in all black Tripes and terrorized the German's. He and Donald McLaren were two of those five Canadian aces that the poltically correct anti-Canadian history fools we have in our society didn't want you to learn about in high school. It was this unit that got Fokker into building a Tripe and the Red Baron adopted the whole "elite" squadron idea for his "Flying Circus".

Best flying stories of any war come from the brave young men of the RFC and RNAS.....just cant name one book off the top of my head to recommend. They are out there though. I think the net is not best source however...it just will point you in some directions. Gotta find the books man.....
