Three points arise regarding your remarks about Bishop not meeting Fokker DR1's:

1 The question was addressed to Al Lowe, who makes a point of not replying.
2 85 Squadron had joined up with a patrol from 74 Squadron and had encountered a mixed bag of Pfalz and Fokker DR1's. This means that they were in the vicinity. This was soon after 85 had arrived in France.
3 Dallas CO of 40 Squadron was shot down on 6th June 1918 by 3 Fokker Triplanes. Bishop was in France according to his victory list from 27th May- 19th June.

I find it surprising that he appears never to have met one. 4 Pfalz shot down on 19th June?
