Allegedly Bishop said "If I got a clear shot at a Hun, he was a dead man."
But then BB said a lot of things, including...awnevermind!

" We flew side by side laughing at each other for a few seconds.and then we waved adieu to each other and went off.He was a real sport that Hun."
- Captain Albert Ball RFC"Aerial gunnery is 90 percent instinct and 10 percent aim." -Captain Frederick C. Libby, RFC. "The most important thing in fighting was shooting, next the various tactics in coming into a fight and last of all flying ability itself." — Lt. Colonel W. A. 'Billy' Bishop,RAF/ RCAF. "Fighting in the air is not sport. It is scientific murder." — Captain Edward V. 'Eddie' Rickenbacker, USAS " We had a strict code of honor: you didn't shoot down a cripple and you kept it a fair fight." — Captain Wilfrid Reid 'Wop' May, RFC "Good flying never killed [an enemy] yet." — Major Edward 'Mick' Mannock, RAF Last edited by rexee; 4 November 2009 at 12:46 PM. |

... if one was ever over the Salient in the autumn of 1917 and saw an SE5 fighting like Hell amidst a heap of Huns, one would find nine times out of ten that the SE was flown by Rhys Davids.

It was a dream,conjecturable as heaven,resembling no life we knew.
We were trained with one object-to kill. We had only one hope-to live. When it was over we had to start again. I do not complain of this. It was a fine introduction to life
