Book: "Last of the Red Devils" by Frank Joseph

Good Morning,
I just read "Lat of the Red Devils", the story of Edward Lindsay, the last surviving pilot of America's first bomber squadron in WWI" by Frank Joseph [Galde Press, Lakeville, MN USA 2003]
I'm new to WWI and especially the 96th aero squadron. This book is about the last survivior of the squadron Edward Lindsay who died Dec 1, 1986. The author spend considerable time with Lindsay and tape recorded many hours of interviews. He says he fleshed out the story wtih "Correll's History of the American Expeditionary Forces Air Service" as well as a June 1954 (vol. 6, number 10) issue of The Air Power Historian article by Bruce C. Hopper (also a member of the 96th aero sq.)
I am wondering if any of the experts here who may have read the book could comment on the accuracy of the elderly flyer's recollections.
For example - I had never heard this before - the observer would "steer" the pilot to the target by pulling on "reins" attached to the pilots shoulders while the observer looked below through "two pairs of large view traps below both seats provided an unprecedented panorama of the target area" [p. 52]. The aircraft was a Breguet XIV.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
Hugh
