Aviation Is Fine As A Sport. But

My Center Is Giving Way, My Right Is In Retreat; Situation Excellent. I Shall Attack.

One Is Defeated Only When One Accepts Defeat.

To Be Disciplined Does Not Mean Being Silent, Abstaining, Or Doing Only What One Thinks One May Undertake Without Risk; It Is Not The Art Of Eluding Responsibility; It Means Acting In Compliance With Orders Received, And Therefore Finding In One's Own Mind, By Effort And Reflection, The Possibility To Carry Out Such Orders. It Also Means Finding In One's Own Will The Energy To Face The Risks Involved In Execution.

Aviation Is Fine As A Sport. But As An Instrument Of War, It Is Worthless.

The Power To Command Has Never Meant The Power To Remain Mysterious.
