Quote that says it all...
« on: January 04, 2013, 07:07:39 PM »
"Our enemy is the British fighter. Be as cunning as a fox...wait patiently...then strike like lightning and get out as fast."

Kommodore Theo Osterkamp, JG 51
Addressing his command, prelude to Battle of Britain.

This goes to those who fret about the strategy of slashing through a fight, disengage, reset then slash again.

Uncle Theo was correct, but that was real war. The dead didn't get to complain on 200.

I wish people would use the wish list forum to post their brilliant ideas, and be smart enough to not post all their stupid ones.

But I am under no disillusions of my wish ever being fulfilled.

and to those who died doing so.   :frown:

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he is talking about those in "The Few/Poo" in AH.   ;)

The Mighty Few used the same tactics whenever possible as did all fighter pilots.
The object was kill and live to kill another day.
