Colonel Bishop, V.C., the Canadian airman, entertained eight of his one-time enemies in London recently. The party, of course, discussed their war activities and totted up their “ bags.” Colonel Bishop had shot down 72 planes. Captain Bolle, the ex-leader of the famous Boelcke squadron, had claimed 36 victims, and Captain, Hermann Frommherz had “ bagged ” 33 machines. Another of the visiting group was one of the .chief night bombers. Colonel Bishop and Captain Bolle identified almost beyond doubt a fight which they had over Ypres in 1917. The party also went to see “Wings,” now showing in New Zealand, and attended the recent Royal Air Force pageant.
