Despite being a slightly controversial character politically, he wrote throughout his life and parts of his diaries were published and subsequently televised. He was the author of several books of military history, including his controversial work The Donkeys (1961), which is considered to have inspired the musical satire, <i>Oh, What a Lovely War!</i> And <i>Aces High, The War in the Air Over the Western Front 1914-18</i> (1973)</p>
