Adolf Galland Quotes

We had at our disposal the first operational jet, which superseded by at least 150 knots the fastest American and English fighters. This was a unique situation Picture Quote #1
The throttles could only move very, very slowly, always watching the temperature, always watching. And even in throttling back, you could bust it, even being very careful Picture Quote #1
Of course, the outcome of the war would not have been changed. The war was lost perhaps, when it was started. At least it was lost in the winter of 42, in Russia Picture Quote #1
Nine g’s is good, if the pilot can stand it. We couldn’t stand it. Not in the airplanes of World War II Picture Quote #1
This would only come if you have a revolutionary change in technology like the jet brought about Picture Quote #1
The fighter must seek battle in the air Picture Quote #1

It’s unbelievable what one squadron of twelve aircraft did to tip the balance Picture Quote #1
I could not claim them because I was not supposed to be flying in combat Picture Quote #1
And most of these pilots were lost during the first five flights Picture Quote #1
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 Picture Quote #1
An excellent weapon and luck had been on my side. To be successful, the best fighter pilot needs both Picture Quote #1
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 Picture Quote #1

As a fighter pilot I know from my own experiences how decisive surprise and luck can be for success, which in the long run comes only to the one who combines daring with cool thinking Picture Quote #1
The battle is tough but if you reach where you want to go, then at least in some sense it is worth it Picture Quote #1
The first rule of all air combat is to see the opponent first. Like the hunter who stalks his prey and maneuvers himself unnoticed into the most favourable position for the kill, the fighter in the opening of a dogfight must detect the opponent as early as possible in order to attain a superior position for the attack Picture Quote #1
Their element is to attack, to track, to hunt, and to destroy the enemy. Only in this way can the eager and skillful fighter pilot display his ability. Tie him to a narrow and confined task, rob him of his initiative, and you take away from him the best and most valuable qualities he posses: aggressive spirit, joy of action, and the passion of the hunter Picture Quote #1
Flying is more than a sport and more than a job; flying is pure passion and desire, which fill a lifetime Picture Quote #1
Only in the spirit of attack, born in a brave heart, will bring success to any fighter aircraft, no matter how highly developed it may be Picture Quote #1

Never abandon the possibility of attack. Attack even from a position of inferiority, to disrupt the enemy’s plans. This often results in improving one’s own position Picture Quote #1
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 Picture Quote #1
