		Bishop was, by his own description, a true Superman compared to every other pilot on either side of the lines, according to his 1918 record - both invulnerable and undefeatable, it would appear.

		Back in the 1970s when Canada was first experiencing the growing pains of an independent nation, and governments screamed nationalism as a smoke screen for soaring inflation, high taxation and budget cuts, a group of talented Canadian writers emerged with a post-hippie style of musical theatre.
		Just like Billy Bishop is left to fight the Hun with no gun but only hand -held bombs, and still comes out on top a hero, so too does this stage production with only two performers and a piano.
		I say this not as slight to the cast, crew, or directors of Billy Bishop Goes To War, or even The Vancouver Playhouse, particularly The Vancouver Playhouse, as they are a dedicated group to developing Canadian material and talent, but rather as a wakeup call to corporate sponsors, and governments.
