Find the enemy and shoot him down. Anything else is nonsense.

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.

When one has shot down one's first, second or third opponent, then one begins to find out how the trick is done.

English had hit upon a splendid joke. The intended to catch me or to bring me down.

Of course, with the increasing number of aeroplanes one gains increased opportunities for shooting down one's enemies, but at the same time, the possibility of being shot down one's self increases.

The important thing in aeroplanes is that they shall be speedy.

What's the hurry? Are you afraid I won't come back?
