Find the enemy and shoot him down. Anything else is nonsense.
Whatever Boelcke told us was taken as Gospel!
If I should come out of this war alive, I will have more luck than brains.
I started shooting when I was much too far away. That was merely a trick of mine. I did not mean so much as to hit him as to frighten him, and I succeeded in catching him. He began flying curves and this enabled me to draw near.
It is a pity that my collection of trophies contains not a single Russian.
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.
