Billy Bishop was the top Canadian flying ace in the First World War,
credited officially with a record-breaking 75 victories. He was a highly
skilled pilot and an accurate shot. Bishop went from being the most
decorated war hero in Canadian history to a crusader for peace, writing
the book Winged Peace, which supported international control of global
air power. Author Dan McCaffery presents the life and accomplishments of
Bishop through information he gathered from interviews and archival
sources.
This new illustrated edition of Dan McCaffery's book contains more than
50 photos of Bishop and other First World War fliers including German
and British air aces, plus artefacts from the collection now on display
at Billy Bishop airport, Toronto.
