"TEN OF MY RULES FOR AIR FIGHTING" by Sailor Malan
- Wait until you see the whites of his eyes. Fire short bursts of 1 to 2 seconds and only when your sights are definitely 'ON'.
- Whilst shooting think of nothing else, brace the whole of the body, have both hands on the stick, concentrate on your ring sight.
- Always keep a sharp lookout. "Keep your finger out!"
- Height gives You the initiative.
- Always turn and face the attack.
- Make your decisions promptly. It is better to act quickly even though your tactics are not the best.
- Never fly straight and level for more than 30 seconds in the combat area.
- When diving to attack always leave a proportion of your formation above to act as top guard.
- INITIATIVE, AGGRESSION, AIR DISCIPLINE, and TEAM WORK are the words that MEAN something in Air Fighting.
- Go in quickly - Punch hard - Get out!
Speed is life. Altitude is life insurance.

It's difficult to imagine being in that situation, with the lives most of us are fortunate to live these days. Though, i would probably do the same too. He must have experienced a level of anger, outrage and disgust that I hope none of us ever will.

Maybe it would have been better to just shred the German chaps chute so he had time to "reflect" on the way down.

Well, I can actually see both sides in this. It's not hard to understand why someone would want to physically kill the crews of bombers which have destroyed their cities and possibly killed family members. I don't support it but I can understand it. Then again if I was in that P-51 I'd do the same as well...
