The squad ron was equipped with the latest and best British fighting airplanes, and in the, bhort time they have been at the front they have accounted for an extraordinary number of enemy machines. Major Bishop's record of German airplanes brought down in aerial combat, if reckoned on the same basis as was that of the late Baron von Richthofen, the champion Ger man airman, who counted a dou ble-seated machine as two victories, would be well over the century mark. On the morning of the day he re ceived the order to return to England, which was quite unexpect ed by him, he went out for one last fling at the enemy, and before his return brought down Ave machines. 'On landing he said good-by to his comrades, jumped into a motorcar and caught the boat for England.
