Speaking of questions that have gone unanswered, some that were posed in Post No.259 and repeated in Post No.280 have still not been answered. They arise from Stephen Dieter's published review of THE MAKING OF  BILLY BISHOP. To repeat:
(a) What is the passage in a periodical which he states was "severely misquoted" by Greenhouse ?
(B) To what degree does the Greenhous version differ from the original ?
© Which passages does he believe have been inadequately foot-noted ?
(d) How would he compare the level of scholarship (particularly in primary vs secondary sources) of Greenhous vs others such as McCaffrey or Bashow ?

In a review I wrote for the periodical
Canadian Military History, I elaborate on the mis-quoted section. To borrow from my own words:
"Greenhous identifies Bishop's squadron commander during his last days of service in 1917 as Major W.J.C. Kennedy-Cochran-Patrick. The periodical in question, Cross and Cockade, identifies the Commanding Officer of 60 Squadron succeeding Major Jack Scott as Captain "Pat" Cochrane-Patrick, subsequently promoted to Major as a result of his posting and appointment. The periodical's version is confirmed in
Above the Trenches."
This addressed the first two inquiries of Mr. Halliday - whose name I shall neither deliberately nor unintentionally mis-spell.
