Aviation is fine as a sport. But as an instrument of war, it is worthless.

Airplanes are interesting toys but of no military value.

Regulations are all very well for drill, but in the hour of danger they are no more use. You have to learn to think.

A battle won is a battle which we will not acknowledge to be lost.

The military mind always imagines that the next war will be on the same lines as the last. That has never been the case and never will be. One of the great factors on the next war will be aircraft obviously. The potentialities of aircraft attack on a large scale are almost incalculable.

In tactics, action is the governing rule of war.

This is not a peace. It is an armistice for twenty years.
