And Most Of These Pilots

"he Who Wants To Protect Everything, Protects Nothing," Is One Of The Fundamental Rules Of Defense.

Their Element Is To Attack, To Track, To Hunt, And To Destroy The Enemy. Only In This Way Can The Eager And Skillful Fighter Pilot Display His Ability. Tie Him To A Narrow And Confined Task, Rob Him Of His Initiative, And You Take Away From Him The Best And Most Valuable Qualities He Posses: Aggressive Spirit, Joy Of Action, And The Passion Of The Hunter.

An Excellent Weapon And Luck Had Been On My Side. To Be Successful, The Best Fighter Pilot Needs Both.

As A Fighter Pilot I Know From My Own Experiences How Decisive Surprise And Luck Can Be For Success, Which In The Long Run Comes Only To The One Who Combines Daring With Cool Thinking.

And Most Of These Pilots Were Lost During The First Five Flights.
