Offensive

I just have to say that this is an uncalled, unfair, inaccurate and offensive documentary, showing disrespect to one of Canada's greatest and extraordinary war pilots.

these film makers wanted to discredit Billy Bishop and make him look like a successful fraud like Harry Flashman.

Billy Bishop has seen death, destruction and unimaginable horror while bringing down 75 German planes and people call him a fraud. he does not deserve this after all that he's been through.

I'll Dahm the people who made this waste of good Photography.

I rated this film 1 out of 10
