The Montreal Gazette obituary read as follows:
Death came to Air Marshal Billy Bishop in the early morning. He died at
the chill hour before the coming of the dawn -- an hour when he must
often have been making ready for his solitary flights.
Perhaps, if he had had his choice, this would be the hour he would have
preferred. For he had that courage which Napoleon once said was the
rarest -- the courage of the early morning. |
