Never Abandon The Possibility Of Attack. Attack

Of Course, The Outcome Of The War Would Not Have Been Changed. The War Was Lost Perhaps, When It Was Started. At Least It Was Lost In The Winter Of '42, In Russia.

We Have Built A Total Of About 1250 Of This Aircraft, But Only Fifty Were Allowed To Be Used As Fighters - As Interceptors. And Out Of This Fifty, There Were Never More Than 25 Operational. So We Had Only A Very, Very Few.

I Would Like To Mention That I Have Flown The 262 First In May ‘43. At This Time, The Aircraft Was Completely Secret. I First Knew Of The Existence Of This Aircraft Only Early In ‘42 - Even In My Position. This Aircraft Didn’t Have Any Priority In Design Or Production.

The Battle Is Tough But If You Reach Where You Want To Go, Then At Least In Some Sense It Is Worth It.

It Is True To Say That The First Kill Can Influence The Whole Future Career Of A Fighter Pilot. Many To Whom The First Victory Over The Opponent Has Been Long Denied Either By Unfortunate Circumstances Or By Bad Luck Can Suffer From Frustration Or Develop Complexes They May Never Rid Themselves Of Again.
