Fighter pilots rove in the area allotted to them in any way they like, and when they spot an enemy they attack and shoot them down.... Everything else is rubbish.

I have had an experience which might perhaps be described as being shot down. At the same time, I call shot down only when one falls down. Today I got into trouble but I escaped with a whole skin.

The quality of the box matters little. Success depends upon the man who sits in it.

The murder of a man is still murder, even in wartime.

Whatever Boelcke told us was taken as Gospel!

As a little boy of eleven I entered the Cadet Corps. I was not particularly eager to become a Cadet, but my father wished it. So my wishes were not consulted.

It is a pity that my collection of trophies contains not a single Russian.
