“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.”

It’s unbelievable what one squadron of twelve aircraft did to tip the balance.

The first rule of all air combat is to see the opponent first.

To use a fighter as a fighter-bomber when the strength of the fighter arm is inadequate to achieve air superiority is putting the cart before the horse.

This was my impression.

Nine g’s is good, if the pilot can stand it.

Flying is pure passion and desire, which fill a lifetime.

This is also the reason why we have pilots with extremely high numbers of victories.

Only in this way can the eager and skillful fighter pilot display his ability.

Aggressive spirit, joy of action, and the passion of the hunter.

I first knew of the existence of this aircraft only early in ‘42 – even in my position.

The German Luftwaffe always fought without any reserves.

To be successful, the best fighter pilot needs both.

And for the moment the whole burden of the war rested on the few hundred German fighter pilots on the Channel coast.

Or by bad luck can suffer from frustration or develop complexes they may never rid themselves of again.

We couldn’t stand it. Not in the airplanes of World War II.

Which in the long run comes only to the one who combines daring with cool thinking.

That evening she glowed. She gave off a vibration of energy that he suspected only he could detect.

I beg the reader not to go in search of messages. It is a term that I detest because it distresses me greatly, for it forces on me clothes that are not mine, which in fact belong to a human type that I distrust; the prophet, the soothsayer, the seer.

I always said little Truman had a voice so high it could only be detected by bats.

I shouldn’t be saying this – high treason, really – but I sometimes wonder if Americans aren’t fooled by our accent into detecting brilliance that may not really be there.

And there are places on the border, such as the Arizona desert or the open terrain around the Big Bend in South Texas, where Mother Nature has created her own barrier that is not easily passable. Or if you do pass through it, you are easily detected.

Our ability to manufacture fraud now exceeds our ability to detect it.

You can detect Satan’s schemes and overcome his world system.

You don’t create your mission in life – you detect it.
