Billy Bishop Documentary

Bishop was born in Owen Sound, Ontario.[2] He was the third of four children born to William A. and Margaret Bishop.[3] His father, a lawyer and graduate of Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto, was the Registrar of Grey County.[4] Attending Owen Sound Collegiate and Vocational Institute, Bishop earned the reputation of a fighter, defending himself and others easily against bullies.[4] He avoided team sports, preferring solitary pursuits such as swimming, horse riding, and shooting.[5] Bishop was less successful at his studies; he would abandon any subject he could not easily master, and was often absent from class.[6] At 15, Bishop had his first experience with aviation: he built an aircraft out of cardboard, wood crates and string, and "flew" off the roof of his three-story house. He was dug, unharmed, out of the wreckage by his sister.[6] In 1911,[1] Billy Bishop entered the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC) in Kingston, Ontario, where his brother Worth had graduated in 1903.[7] At RMC, Bishop was known as "Bish" and "Bill". Bishop failed his first year at RMC, having been caught cheating.[8] An eclectic video library of music, arts, education, TV, history, transportation, documentaries and special rare videos for enjoyment and perusal. http://www.sherwayacdemy.ca
