A very interesting collection, as always. I suspect the chronology in the story of the Black Sparrow is inaccurate: mention is made of the Resistance ending when the Germans invaded France. It would of course had BEGUN then. Bullard's espionage may have then started, too. Nonetheless, it is an amazing story of great adventures.
