A Fighter Pilot Musical
« on: January 08, 2026, 10:16:22 AM »
I'm wondering how many of you know there's a musical about a fighter pilot...specifically the highest scoring allied ace of the First World War, Billy Bishop. Imagine encountering an old war vet who regales you with his stories, occasionally bursting into the songs he used to sing with his long dead mates. That's the feel of this production. The whole play is presented by two actors, one plays Billy Bishop, the other is his piano player. There are some really great songs that are written in the style of the period.

A version of the play is available on Amazon, but here's my favorite song. It reminds me of my Aces High days that I hope to get back to eventually.
