>And he claimed THREE aircraft shot down, not four.<
To be specific, in his combat report, *he "claimed" that the aircraft he engaged were Albatros D.I and D.II types.
This was later changed to Albatros D.IIIs
While looking through an old OTF I again happened across a letter written by Alex Revell in which he refers to a Letter written by Willie Fry concerning the Bishop Raid. *Fry made Revell promise not to print it until after his death. *
Revell goes on to say that Fry's daughter refused permission for it to be printed. The contents of said letter might be interesting.
Wonder what ever became of it?

So tell me, when was the last time in REAL aerial combat YOU tried to identify the type of machine you were shooting at?
As to the letter from Fry, it finally was printed. *I believe it was in C&C International. *From what people tell me, it revealed nothing new. *Which was no big surprise.
