Col. William A. Bishop
Canadian born, the gallant Colonel Bishop is the ranking British ace with seventy-two victories. Brave and skillful, he had supreme confidence in himself and his lucky star. He enjoyed lone-handed encounters, and early one morning he alone hung over an enemy aerodrome fifteen miles inside the German lines. One by one three planes came to attack him. After blasting them to the ground, he streaked home to breakfast.
