Barrett, that's absolutely BRILLIANT!!! I'm surprised I never thought of it!!!
 Ok, now we know, Bishop hoped into his trusty SE-5A, took his roving commission a bit too literally and flew across the channel and down the front, landing at aerodromes along the way to refuel, and then stumbled upon MvR's red tripe and shot him down!!! BUT he was afraid he'd get in trouble for flying so far without proper authorization, so he convinced fellow Canadian  Roy Brown to file the Combat report.How's that??? VBR, Al Lowe

...and two of the three VC bars were awarded posthumously.
Al...think nothing of it; glad to help! Now if I could just find that hand-written letter from Bishop to Brown....
