Fighting In The Air Is Not Sport.

The Experienced Fighting Pilot Does Not Take Unnecessary Risks. His Business In To Shoot Down Enemy Planes, Not To Get Shot Down. His Trained Hand And Eye And Judgment Are As Much A Part Of His Armament As His Machinegun, And A Fiftyfifty Chance Is The Worst He Will Take Or Should Take Except Where The Show Is Of The Kind That . . . Justifies The Sacrifice Of Plane Or Pilot.

I Can Give You A Six-word Formula For Success: "think Things Through - Then Follow Through."

Fighting In The Air Is Not Sport. It Is Scientific Murder.

If A Thing Is Old, It Is A Sign That It Was Fit To Live. The Guarantee Of Continuity Is Quality.

I Believe That If You Think About Disaster, You Will Get It. Brood About Death And You Will Hasten Your Demise. Think Positively And Masterfully With Confidence And Faith, And Life Becomes More Secure, More Fraught With Action, Richer In Achievement And Experience. This Is The Sure Way To Win Victories Over Inner Defeat. It Is The Way A Humble Person Meets Life Or Death.
