To conquer the command in the air means victory; to be beaten in the air means defeat.

Victory smiles upon those who anticipate the change in the character of war, not upon those who wait to adapt themselves after the changes occur.

To conquer the command in the air means victory; to be beaten in the air means defeat.

You'll be scared! Sure you'll be scared. Who wouldn't fear having their head completely blown off.

I have a mathematical certainty that the future will confirm my assertion that aerial warfare will be the most important element in future wars, and that in consequence not only will the importance of the Independent Air Force rapidly increase, but the importance of the army and navy will decrease in proportion.

Because of its independence of surface limitations and its superior speed the airplane is the offensive weapon par excellence.

To have command of the air means to be able to cut an enemy's army and navy off from their bases of operation and nullify their chances of winning the war.
