Capt. Lewis, Yes, you're right, it wasn't Libby himself, but rather either his "editor" or the publisher of his book that overstated his claims.
Personally, I hold nothing against Libby, or ANY combat aircrewman. From my point of view, they ALL did something I, and many in this forum are incapable of.
I do think that just like us, they have their own personal bias, for whatever reason. I have heard from some others who's relative flew in WWI, but not with Bishop, that for whatever reason, disliked Bishop. Yet, I have also heard from others who's relatives KNEW Bishop, and liked him without question.
We all pickup bias one way or the other about people we don't know, or haven't met. This is generally very true of our own politicians. As well as actors and others in the "spotlight."
Why? Who knows. It just happens that way sometimes.
VBR,
Al Lowe
