“Many to whom the first victory over the opponent has been long denied either by unfortunate circumstances”

As a fighter pilot I know from my own experiences how decisive surprise and luck can be for success

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.

Perhaps even more important than being a good pilot; to make the best use of this system.

Of course, the outcome of the war would not have been changed.

And most of these pilots were lost during the first five flights.

According to Goering and the Luftwaffe High Command, they were supposed to be the fighter elite.

Their element is to attack, to track, to hunt, and to destroy the enemy.

Many pilots of the time were the opinion that a fighter pilot in a closed cockpit was an impossible thing, because you should smell the enemy.

Can beat any quantity numerically many times stronger yet technically inferior.

Flying is more than a sport and more than a job

Tie him to a narrow and confined task, rob him of his initiative, and you take away from him the best and most valuable qualities he posses

It is true to say that the first kill can influence the whole future career of a fighter pilot.

The colossus of World War II seemed to be like a pyramid turned upside down

I would like to mention that I have flown the 262 first in May ‘43.

No engine vibrations. No torque and no lashing sound of the propeller.

We have built a total of about 1250 of this aircraft, but only fifty were allowed to be used as fighters

Happiness does not depend on outward circumstances, but on the state of the heart.

God is the Great Engineer, creating circumstances to bring about moments in our lives of divine importance, leading us to divine appointments.

Don’t let circumstances distress you. Rather, look for the will of God for your life to be revealed in and through those circumstances.

God speaks in the language you know best – not through your ears, but through your circumstances.

In all this world there is no substitute for personal integrity. It includes honor. It includes performance. It includes keeping one’s word. It includes doing what is right regardless of the circumstances

In any moment, in any circumstance, a miracle will occur when we align ourselves with truth.

A saint realizes that it is God who engineers his circumstances; consequently there are no complaints, only unrestrained surrender to Jesus.

The key to abundance is meeting limited circumstances with unlimited thoughts.
