William Avery "Billy" Bishop, Canada

Billy Bishop was a young pilot in the First World War who was officially credited with 72 aerial victories. This made him the highest scoring ace in the British Empire. He went toe-to-toe with the infamous Manfred Von Richthofen - the Red Baron! - and came out of it with a draw.

He was awarded the Victoria Cross for his "Dawn Attack" on a German areodrome. The Victoria Cross is in recognition of most exceptional bravery displayed in presence of the enemy.
