Buffalo Creek Law Dog Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 William Avery "Billy" Bishop was a Canadian WW1 air ace who was credited with shooting down seventy two (72) German aircraft. His son, Arthur Bishop served in the RCAF during WWll and was credited with shooting down one (1) German aircraft. Arthur used to joke that, between him and his Dad, they shot down 73 enemy aircraft.
