I had to inspect all fighter units in Russia, Africa, Sicily, France, and Norway. I had to be everywhere.

Only in the spirit of attack, born in a brave heart, will bring success to any fighter aircraft, no matter how highly developed it may be.

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.

When I was fired from my post as General of the Fighter Arm, I was to give proof that this jet was a superior fighter. And that's when we did it. I think we did it.

Flying is more than a sport and more than a job; flying is pure passion and desire, which fill a lifetime.

Never abandon the possibility of attack. Attack even from a position of inferiority, to disrupt the enemy's plans. This often results in improving one's own position.

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