Hi Everyone,
As you know, I am new to the forum, but I have been reading the posts for sometime now. I am amazed at the amount of discussion concerning the merits of
Billy Bishop, both pro and con. I have heard of the controversies over the years and I have longed wondered why his credibility seems to be in question.
What different set of rules or scutiny, if any, did Capt. Bishop serve under while he flew for the British Commonwealth? Where not all pilots who flew for the British subjected to the same codes and standards, including the awarding of claims for enemy aircraft?
Maybe someone could explain to me these differences so I can understand this apparent bashing of a man that I have long regarded as a hero.
Thanks
