On 5 February 1974, Group Captain E. B. “Teddy” Haslam of the Historical Branch of the Air Ministry replied to a request about Lambert’s record by Royal Frey, Director of the U.S. Air Force Museum. After an exhausted search into Lambert’s record by F. W. Coles, Lambert was credited with 22½ victories by the RAF.

Of particular interest is his time barnstorming the Mid-West in 1919 and his time in World War II. The book is well-researched and written!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02984893076169362926noreply@blogger.com
