520 1 $a"It's a war story that is told every time the career of Billy Bishop is discussed: on June 2, 1917, the young pilot single-handedly took out a German airfield in an early morning raid at the height of the Great War. For this, he was awarded the Victoria Cross, and a place in Canadian history.".
520 8 $a"And yet, the attack never happened. In this new biography, Brereton Greenhous exposes the myth of Billy Bishop. While his bravery never comes into question (Bishop was as courageous as any of the men who risked their lives in those early warplanes) his credibility as a story-teller does. From exaggerations and half-truths to flat-out lies, stories of Bishop's legendary exploits contain as much fiction as they do fact."--BOOK JACKET.
