Yes TM,
Flying Fury is a good read. See further
this site [the hyperbole about McCudden being "the RFC's greatest fighter ace" is debateable, but don't let that deter you from searching out a copy].
People who believe all this talk of pilots being sent straight onto Spitfires after five hours on Moths doubtless believe those stories about the Germans eating babies in Belgium during WWI, the recent Iraq invasion was necessary because there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, etc. etc. There are any number of firsthand RAF/RCAF/RAAF/SAAF/RZNAF accounts that document the relatively lengthy period of pilot training, even during the dark days of the Battle of Britain.
