After reviewing previous threads, and the evidence that is available, I've come to the conclusion that Bishop was a liar.

LATE APRIL FOOLS!!!!
Actually, I've come to the conclusion that it's currently fruitless to get drawn into any arguments about Bishop. I will contribute what I know when asked, and where it is apparent that a lack of knowledge is resident in the minds of whomever starts a thread here about
Billy Bishop.
However, what you should do if you're looking for info on the web is start with my
Billy Bishop Zone web site and go from there. IF any of you are interested in the controversy, do that and you will save all of us a lot of time and trouble in trying to explain it for the umpteenth time.
I will warn all of you in advance, my web pages on Bishop are biased in his favor, but I do not deny that the man had problems, one being most likely an alcoholic, probably brought on by his wartime experiences.
I am very familar with this type of DSS in that my father was also an alcoholic, primarily as a result of the horror he saw in WWII.
