British & Allied Aircraft Manufacturers of the First World War.

[pete-c]

Has anyone on the Forum ever totted up the number of inaccuracies in the above book by Terry C Treadwell?

I purchased this about a couple of years ago - it was published in 2011 - as a general reference book for the aircraft of WW1. In the years since then I have built up a collection of other books on the subject and now have a much greater understanding of aviation during the years 1914-18 than when I first became interested.

My interest over the last few years has mainly been in the seaplanes produced by Short Bros and therefore I like to think that I now possess a fairly good knowledge of their products. I am astounded at the number of howlers in the Short Bros section in the above publication so, not having a good enough knowledge of the other manufacturers featured in the book - 28 in all - I did wonder if any other Forum users had come across any inaccuracies in relation to the other makes featured, such as Sopwith, Armstrong Whitworth, Bristol et al?
