Ghost-writer?

Biard was friends with Frank S. Stuart, the invisible ghost writer who wrote Jasper Maskelyne’s White Magic (1936) and Magic Top Secret (1949).
Stuart may well have ghosted Wings?
If so, I would expect this ‘biography’ to be loose with the truth.
They also co-wrote ‘Modern Aviation’ (1952) after the war.
Archie Stuart, Frank’s son, remembers Biard landing his biplane near the village where they lived.
