I just received an announcement from Pen & Sword Books, a UK publisher, about a new biography available on Captain D V Armstrong DFC. The book is titled Camel Pilot Supreme and is by Annette Carson. This book is available in both hardback and electronic editions.

He does have a colorful Camel.

From the book's description: "Until this biography little was known about his wartime experiences, and even less about his South African background. His great value to the authorities lay in his superb handling of the Sopwith Camel, which upon its introduction had taken a heavy toll in fatal trainee accidents. While still on active service he was sent around the units providing vivid proof that, properly handled, the stubby little fighter delivered the key to combat success: unrivalled manoeuvrability. His resultant fame eclipsed his other distinguished role in pioneering night flying and night fighting, an equally vital skill he was also detailed to demonstrate around the squadrons."

Pen & Sword has many other aviation books at their web store.

I'm not associated with Pen & Sword, just a satisfied customer.
