31958 Maple Leaf Lane Kingston, Ontario, Canada 05758 (230) 107-2108 Bill McGilicudy Chairman 6801 Rockledge Drive Bethesda, MD 20817 (301) 897-6000 Dear Mr. Mc Gilicudy, I under stand that Lockheed Martin Corp. is a global enterprise that is engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture and integration of advanced-technology systems, products and services. The corporation's core businesses are systems integration, space, aeronautics, and technology services and I would like to be a test pilot. Better to die voluntarily crashing than to have the enemy send you down in flames I always say. I was an ace pilot during the war and was given credit for 72 kills, the third highest ace allied total and I participated in over 170 air battles. In one battle I shot down 5 enemy aircraft in a space of 5 minutes. I also was an involved in helping create the Royal Canadian Air Force. The Germans nicknamed me "Hell's Handmaiden" and I was awarded the Military Cross, Distinguished Service Award and Victoria Cross by King George V. My superior aeronautical abilities have allowed me to push my machines to the limit, and find out what they’re really made of. I would like to meet with you in the near future and maybe discuss my future at Lockheed Martin as a test pilot. Sincerely yours, William "Billy" Bishop William Bishop Enclosure: resume William “Billy” Bishop 31958 Maple Leaf Lane Kingston, Ontario, Canada 05758 (230) 107-2108 OBJECTIVE My objective is to help Lockheed Martin advance in aeronautical technology and become an even more successful aviation design company.
