Billy Bishop quotes:

The Air Age faces mankind with a sharp choice - the choice between Winged Peace or Winged Death. It''s up to you.

In nearly all cases where machines have been downed, it was during a fight which had been very short, and the successful burst of fire had occurred within the space of a minute after the beginning of actual hostilities.

The most important thing in fighting was shooting, next the various tactics in coming into a fight and last of all flying ability itself.

Better to die voluntarily crashing than to have the enemy send you down in flames.
