Note on sources

The Gunn book is self-published, raising questions about its reliability. Reviews cited at Google books include the following:

'Gunn's volumes are a major contribution to our understanding of significant elements in the twentieth century... Future general historians will have no excuse for ignoring aviation.' Cameron Hazlehurst, Australian Historical Studies
'Great aviation, great history and a great, great read. Congratulations yet again, Mr Gunn.' Frank Cranston, Canberra Times

The book does therefore appear relatively reliable. hamiltonstone (talk) 05:21, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
