For controversy about how much of The Wild Blue Ambrose actually wrote.

Personally I enjoy Ambrose's writing but quite often find factual innaccuracies when he writes about things I know of... which makes me wonder about the accuracy of the things I don't know of.

I prefer Martin Middlebrook because he writes just as well but without the mistakes, and wrote so many great books about WW2 in the air.
