Let me say again, that I don't think that Bishop ACTUALLY shot down 72 enemy machines, balloons or gooney birds.
I do think he made his claims in good faith, however mistaken he might have been. But I don't think he cheated. Neither do I think he was a paragon of virtue either. I think the last time anyone remotely close to being like walked this earth was around circa 1 A.D.
