Captain William Billy Bishop by Ivan Berryman. \u003cp\u003e Undoubtedly one of the truly great Aces of the First World War, William Billy Bishop became celebrated for his technique of actively seeking out the enemy and bringing the fight to him, rather than the more usual practice of patrolling in search of enemy activity. An example of this was his single-handed attack on a German airfield in June 1917 when he destroyed not only a number of aircraft on the ground, but then successfully despatched another seven Albatross scouts that took off to engage him. For this action, he was awarded the Victoria Cross in August 1917 and his final tally when the war ended was 72 confirmed victories. He is depicted here in his Nieuport Scout B1566 in combat with a Pfalz D.III. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSupplied with an original book photo page of William Bishop, signed by William Bishop. \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied with the original signature William Billy Bishop (deceased). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBishop Signature edition of 2 artist proofs (No.s 1 and 2) from the edition of 20 small artist proofs. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Image size 12 inches x 8 inches (31cm x 20cm)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military Aviation Art Prints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54135200186701,"sku":null,"price":410.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/5449\/9149\/files\/2026NEWdhm1608.jpg?v=1781871388","url":"https:\/\/militaryaviationartprints.com\/products\/captain-william-billy-bishop-by-ivan-berryman-apd","provider":"Military Aviation Art Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
