I could never be so lucky again

The function and Navy in any future war will be to support the dominant air arm.

The first lesson is that you can't lose a war if you have command of the air, and you can't win a war if you haven't.

I could never be so lucky again

Just try to make the world a better place for your having been here.

Adolf Galland said that the day we took our fighters off the bombers and put them against the German fighters, that is, went from defensive to offsensive, Germany lost the air war. I made that decision and it was my most important decision during World War II. As you can imagine, the bomber crews were upset. The fighter pilots were ecstatic.

Nothing is as strong as the heart of a volunteer.
