Oswald Boelcke quotes:

I fly close to my man, aim well and then of course he falls down.

If your opponent dives on you, do not try to evade his onslaught, but fly to meet it.

When over the enemy's lines never forget your own line of retreat.

Always keep your eye on your opponent, and never let yourself be deceived by ruses.

Always carry through an attack when you have started it.

Try to secure advantages before attacking. If possible, keep the sun behind you.

Fire only at close range, and only when your opponent is properly in your sights.

In any form of attack it is essential to assail your opponent from behind.

For the Staffel: attack on principle in groups of four or six. When the fight breaks up into a series of single combats, take care that several do not go for one opponent.
