Enemy Quotes
-
Once committed to an attack, fly in at full speed. After scoring crippling or disabling hits, I would clear myself and then repeat the process. I never pursued the enemy once they had eluded me. Better to break off and set up again for a new assault. I always began my attacks from full strength, if possible, my ideal flying height being 22,000 ft because at that altitude I could best utilize the performance of my aircraft. Combat flying is based on the slashing attack and rough maneuvering.

Hideous to behold is he who is obsessed with an injustice.
Friedrich Nietzsche

I wouldn't wish a night of 1971 television on my worst enemy. But the records of 1971, again, still live for us now.

Because the only thing I wanted to spend money on when I was 21 was records.
