Bishop and his fellows regard air fighting as a game. They shot down airplanes much as a sports man shoots day pigeons. Only at night would Bishop realize that when he brought down an enemy plane he snuffed out a human life. Often, then, this thought would keep hm awake. This is signifi cant as showing that the great aces of the Allied air fleet have not become hardened and remorseless. The late Charley Barrett was a true and loyal friend to Weston, and his passing is mourned by such of our people who are themselves true and loyal to their own community.
