Brereton GREENHOUS, Historian 1929-2005
Ottawa academic raised Canadian hackles with a controversial book that showed First World War ace Billy BISHOP 'was a very brave man who was also a very bold liar'
By Ron CSILLAG, Special to The Globe and Mail, Saturday, May 14, 2005, Page S9
If Brereton "Ben" GREENHOUS loved a good rhubarb, as his Friends and colleagues attest, he got a big one three years ago when he was accused of smearing a Canadian icon.
Trouble was, this was no half-baked, armchair history by a revisionist quack, but a meticulously researched 232-page work by a professional historian that concluded that Canadian First World War flying ace and virtual household name Billy BISHOP was a fraud, a calculating and "mighty" liar, and wholly undeserving of the British Empire's highest military decoration, the Victoria Cross.
Through 25 years as an historian at the directorate of history in the Department of National Defence, Mr. GREENHOUS authored and co-authored many popular and professional works, ranging from regimental histories, chronicles of the battles at Dieppe and Vimy, Canada's contributions to the Second World War, and official histories of Canada's air force.
But it was his 2002 book, The Making of Billy Bishop, for which he will be chiefly remembered by many, and reviled by some. Expanding on a monograph in the prestigious Canadian Historical Review titled "The Sad Case of Billy Bishop, V.C.," which he had written more than a decade earlier, Mr. GREENHOUS accused Mr. BISHOP of exaggerations, fibs and flat-out lies, claiming that only 27 of the storied airman's 72 victory claims withstood close scrutiny. Mr. BISHOP's "was still a very impressive performance," he wrote, "but nothing like the great hero he was made out to be."
For many Canadians, the book was an outrageous reprise of the 1983 film by Paul Cowan, The Kid Who Couldn't Mississippi, which sparked an inconclusive Senate investigation.
For Mr. GREENHOUS, ground zero was June 2, 1917. Mr. BISHOP, a 23-year-old captain in the Royal Flying Corps already credited with 22 aerial wins, took off from northwest France at dawn in his single-seater Nieuport 17, intending to strike a German aerodrome, solo. His most famous exploit had it that he shot down three enemy aircraft, two just as they were taking off. The audacious pilot sustained return fire, beat a hasty departure below four enemy scout aircraft, and landed an hour later, his own plane in tatters.
Two months of investigations later, King George V presented Mr. BISHOP with the Victoria Cross at Buckingham Palace. He was one of just three Canadian World War I pilots to be awarded the coveted Victoria Cross, and it was the only one bestowed in the absence of eyewitness testimony.
For Mr. GREENHOUS, there was one big problem: The mission never happened. He cited, among many things, a lack of German records and eyewitnesses, Mr. BISHOP's own combat report on the raid (in which he was unable to identify the location of the airfield) and the fact that the young pilot had a checkered past. After all, he acknowledged in his autobiography that he had cheated on his exams at the Royal Military College. Besides which, Mr. GREENHOUS pointed out, that on the day Mr. BISHOP claimed to have engaged the Red Baron in a dogfight, Richthofen had just scored his 50th win and was grounded pending personal kudos from the Kaiser.
As for the damage to Mr. BISHOP's fighter, Mr. GREENHOUS strongly suggested that the pilot touched down in France soon after taking off, and sprayed his own plane with bullets to substantiate his story. Fellow historians, already piqued by the other accusations, had a field day with this one, asking what kind of sane pilot would deliberately weaken an already structurally flawed aircraft, and noting that it would have taken two people to restart the plane: one in the cockpit and the other to swing the propeller.
" 'I say, Pierre, would you mind coming over here and pulling my prop after I have shot up my aircraft?' I don't think so," sniffed Lt.-Col. David BASHOW, a fighter pilot and assistant professor of history at the Royal Military College who dismissed Mr. GREENHOUS's book in these pages as "frankly mean-spirited, full of unsubstantiated conclusions and heavy with innuendo."
Col. BASHOW declined to comment for this article, conceding that while Mr. GREENHOUS raised awareness of Mr. BISHOP, there was a "fundamental disconnect" between the two historians.
Through thick and thin, Mr. GREENHOUS stood his ground. "Mr. BISHOP was a very brave man who was also a very bold liar and he made up most of his claims, including his famous Victoria Cross raid," he said in a 2002 interview. "His superiors were trying to build a hero in order to match [the German pilot] Von Richthofen, the Red Baron, and so they encouraged him to exaggerate his claims."
Headlines blazed, Canadians were aghast that a national treasure could be so besmirched, and military historians scrambled to rebut. Veterans said they felt like they'd been kicked in the gut. How convenient for Mr. GREENHOUS, many of them snipped, that voices from the Great War, including those who had flown with Mr. BISHOP, had been all but silenced by mortality.
Mr. GREENHOUS, a large bear of a man who disarmed many with his gentle manner and soft British accent, never shrank from the controversy, even amid calls for his federally-funded head. "Ben loved to start a good fight and he was never one to tolerate political correctness," chuckled Hugh HALLIDAY, a historian who co-wrote a short history of Canada's air force with Mr. GREENHOUS. "As many of us do as we get older, we have an increasing intolerance for bullshit. And Ben could sniff it out."
Mr. GREENHOUS was a "very sound" historian but was "off the mark in one respect," Mr. HALLIDAY conceded: He tried to prove a negative. Even so, while "there is no proof" that Billy BISHOP pulled off his raid, there is also none that he didn't.
Mr. GREENHOUS came to history relatively late in life, having studied at Carleton and Queen's universities in his late 30s. He arrived in Canada en route to New Zealand but was waylaid in Ottawa after meeting his future wife. He never left, save for two years of doctoral study in Dublin.
That was after a youth filled with travel and adventure. Too young to serve in the Second World War, he was drafted into the British army in 1947 and worked in an intelligence unit in Austria during the Cold War.
He made his way to the then-British colony of Malaya to manage a rubber plantation, and later served as a peace officer and liaison between the national police force and the British Army during the Malaya Emergency, a 12-year-long Communist insurgency.
On his return to Britain, Mr. GREENHOUS preferred an unconventional mode of travel: He walked across Afghanistan with a caravan. Back home, he fished for lobster, with little success.
In the end, most military historians remained unconvinced but some came to an entente with Mr. GREENHOUS's theory about Billy BISHOP: The lack of information to prove Mr. BISHOP's claims was the same lack of evidence that supported Mr. GREENHOUS's thesis.
"We had a difference of opinion," said Steven DIETER, a graduate student at the Royal Military College and former historian at the Billy Bishop Heritage Museum in the flyer's native Owen Sound, Ontario "But that's part of being an historian. You put it out there for public scrutiny, and he was unafraid to do that."
For many, it was a shame it took such acrimony to focus attention on a Canadian hero.
Brereton GREENHOUS was born June 12, 1929 in Bishop's Castle, Shropshire, England, and died in Arnprior, Ontario on March 31, 2005 of liver cancer. He was 75. He leaves his wife and one son, Carl, a professional hockey player and coach in England.

And whisper so you'll hear,
That I will always love and miss you,
And wish that you were here.
Your resting place I visit
Flowers I place with care
No one knows the heartache
When I turn and leave you there.
They say memories are golden
For some that might be true
But I never wanted memories
I only wanted you.

In loving memory of Nancy Lynn DIETZ, who left us one year ago, May 25, 2004.
Although it doesn't seem like long,
It's been a year since you've been gone.
When thoughts go back as they often do,
We treasure the memories we have of you.
This day is remembered and quietly kept,
No words are needed, we never forget.
No farewell words were spoken.
No time to say goodbye.
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knows why.
Our hearts still ache with sadness,
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.
Lovingly remembered and sadly missed, by Mom and Dad, Brenda and Ron, Jane and Harold, Brian and Lorraine and families.
