Why did Billy Bishop get the Victoria Cross?
He dived on the field in the first light of dawn and fired toward the tent hangars. Four Albatross pilots tried to take off to get at him. Bishop shot one of them up as it's wheels left the ground. He turned back over the field and fired at a second one. He missed, but the pilot crashed anyway. The other two Albatross took off in opposite directions, one of them flying away, one of them scraping with Bishop before being shot down over a near field. Billy Bishop was awarded the Victoria Cross for his "Dawn Attack". The Victoria Cross is in recognition of most exceptional bravery displayed in presence of the enemy.

What happend when Billy Bishop fought the red baron?
Billy Bishop was in a dogfight with 7 Canadian planes (Nieuports) against 5 German planes (Albatrosses. von Richthofen's squadron of 4 planes joined the fight. von Richthofen and Bishops separated from the main fight and had a dogfight between what were to become each side's highest scoring ace of the war. Bishop had one clear shot at von Richthofen but his gun jammed. After he cleared his gun, they had a dogfight but he never had another clean shot. Bishop claimed he put some holes in von Richthofen's plane but didn't bring it down. The .30 caliber machine guns slow firing machine guns used by planes in WWI required a lot of hits to take down a plane. The only quick way to bring down an opponent was a lucky shot hitting the pilot or a vital engine component.
