The German Luftwaffe Always Fought Without Any

Flying Is More Than A Sport And More Than A Job; Flying Is Pure Passion And Desire, Which Fill A Lifetime.

If We Would Have Had The 262 At Our Disposal - Even With All The Delays - If We Could Have Had In '44, Ah, Let's Say Three Hundred Operational, That Day We Could Have Stopped The American Daytime Bombing Offensive, That's For Sure.

And Most Of These Pilots Were Lost During The First Five Flights.

It Is True To Say That The First Kill Can Influence The Whole Future Career Of A Fighter Pilot. Many To Whom The First Victory Over The Opponent Has Been Long Denied Either By Unfortunate Circumstances Or By Bad Luck Can Suffer From Frustration Or Develop Complexes They May Never Rid Themselves Of Again.

When I Was Fired From My Post As General Of The Fighter Arm, I Was To Give Proof That This Jet Was A Superior Fighter. And That's When We Did It. I Think We Did It.
