During The Battle Of Britain The Question

It's Unbelievable What One Squadron Of Twelve Aircraft Did To Tip The Balance.

Today It Is Even More Important To Dominate The . . . Highly Sophisticated Weapon Systems, Perhaps Even More Important Than Being A Good Pilot; To Make The Best Use Of This System.

For The First Time I Was Flying By Jet Propulsion. No Engine Vibrations. No Torque And No Lashing Sound Of The Propeller. Accompanied By A Whistling Sound, My Jet Shot Through The Air. Later When Asked What It Felt Like, I Said, "it Felt As Though Angels Were Pushing".

An Excellent Weapon And Luck Had Been On My Side. To Be Successful, The Best Fighter Pilot Needs Both.

Many Pilots Of The Time Were The Opinion That A Fighter Pilot In A Closed Cockpit Was An Impossible Thing, Because You Should Smell The Enemy. You Could Smell Them Because Of The Oil They Were Burning.
