In Lone hawk : the story of air ace Billy Bishop : a graphic novel, Canada’s greatest war hero is brought vividly to life.

As a boy, Billy Bishop was a crack shot- he had a sharp eye and great aim. Nearly flunking out of the Royal Military College in Kingston, he eagerly signed up for duty when the first World War broke out. He was first sent to England, and during this time he discovered his true love: the Royal Flying Corps. Bishop proved himself to be a great fighter pilot with a sharp instinct for aerial combat. In this exciting graphic novel, author and illustrator John Lang has unforgettably recreated Bishop’s wartime experiences.
