And Most Of These Pilots Were Lost

According To Goering And The Luftwaffe High Command, They Were Supposed To Be The Fighter Elite.

The Colossus Of World War Ii Seemed To Be Like A Pyramid Turned Upside Down, And For The Moment The Whole Burden Of The War Rested On The Few Hundred German Fighter Pilots On The Channel Coast.

Today It Is Even More Important To Dominate The . . . Highly Sophisticated Weapon Systems, Perhaps Even More Important Than Being A Good Pilot; To Make The Best Use Of This System.

The First Rule Of All Air Combat Is To See The Opponent First. Like The Hunter Who Stalks His Prey And Maneuvers Himself Unnoticed Into The Most Favourable Position For The Kill, The Fighter In The Opening Of A Dogfight Must Detect The Opponent As Early As Possible In Order To Attain A Superior Position For The Attack.

The German Luftwaffe Always Fought Without Any Reserves. This Is Also The Reason Why We Have Pilots With Extremely High Numbers Of Victories.
