Remember, I said "OTHER THAN" showing it was unlikely that Bishop dumped his Lewis gun, I don't believe the rest was much of anything new. Mostly re-hashed stuff that Greenhous had already mentioned in other places and articles.
But he did do a good job of showing that other than anecdotal evidence, there was no other evidence to show that Bishop had dumped his Lewis gun. I found this amusing since, as it had been accepted for decades that Bishop HAD dumped his gun, it became a contest between the pro-Bishop side and the Anti-Bishop side to show how it was im/possible to dump the gun in flight.
And now it looks like that debate was an excersize in futility!
