All;
I meant that last entry for another thread.
I am going to wait until I read the up coming book before I get too vocal. I have always felt that Bishop did not attack the aerodrome in question. It does make sense that he may have urged to lie about the raid and his score at that time period in the War. The British had just gone through "Bloody April" and morale was low. The RFC needed something to get it's pecker back up(as Lee put it) and Bishop was chosen as the golden boy to do it. He may have been following orders!
Just a thought!
Richard
