Bishop Flies With The WASP

Bishop Flies with the WASP of WWII is a delightful story of  a  curious bear named Bishop, who falls in love with flying.  He makes a journey of aviation discovery, learning more than he ever imagined thru the magic artifacts in an old World War Two Army Air Force footlocker.  Inspired by true stories of the Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII, better known as WASP, Bishop becomes a trailblazing aviator!   Just like the pioneering women who were the first in history to fly American military aircraft, Bishop becomes the first bear in history to fly!  

Written and illustrated by Nancy Parrish, daughter of WASP Deanie Parrish and USAF Col. Bill Parrish.
