Fighting In The Air Is Not Sport.

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

In This Business, You Find The Enemy, Then Go After And Destroy Him. Everything Else Is Rubbish!

I Pay Those Guys To Fly, So Let Them Fly. I'll Be Damned If I'll Pay Them To Just Sit There.

And I Have Yet To Find One Single Individual Who Has Attained Conspicuous Success In Bringing Down Enemy Aeroplanes Who Can Be Said To Be Spoiled Either By His Successes Or By The Generous Congratulations Of His Comrades. If He Were Capable Of Being Spoiled He Would Not Have Had The Character To Have Won Continuous Victories, For The Smallest Amount Of Vanity Is Fatal In Aeroplane Fighting. Self-distrust Rather Is The Quality To Which Many A Pilot Owes His Protracted Existence.

The Sensation Of Dying Is Sweet, Sensuous, Placid. It Is The Easiest Thing In The World To Die. The Hardest Is To Live.
