Edition: 1st US Edition

Seller ID: 26868

Condition: Very Good in Very Good- dust jacket

Throughout his life Billy Bishop was something of an eccentric--a man of ebullient high spirits and feverish enthusiasms. As a boy in Owen Sound, Ontario, he was no prodigy for learning. His three years at the Royal Military College were disastrous--an epic of rules broken and discipline scorned. He often admitted that his special method of landing wrecked more planes than he shot down.
