Ok time to blow off some steam. how is it that I, being Canadian, have just heard about Raymond Collishaw, Donald Maclaren, William Barker. This through the Aerodrome Aces page. Even William Bishop and his unbelievable strike on Jasta aerodrome , by himself. My oh my, Imagine if these guy were American, British , or German I'm sure they would be household names. Even Bishop with 72 only 8 behind that Red german guy. Now I wonder if the Red Baron had fought under the Canadian colours. I know us Canadians like to be quiet but these fellows are HUGE Canadian heros. Why arnt they in our schools in basic history class. For the record I'm 39 and took Canadian history.
