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.
