But it did amuse him, listening to all the things the HEV suit thinks of him

How could he do this to this wonderful machine


It is meant to do 253 mph and to drag race Eurofighters, not to swim with fishes in muddy water

That water is death to the turbochargers

"Much depends on which enemy you face in the air. If it is the frenchman or that dashing fellow, the Engländer.

I prefer the Engländer. The frenchman shirks, the Engländer rarely. Sometimes one could even speak of stupidness, which they propably consider as still being bravado.

The nice thing on combat flying is that tricks and stunts are irrelevant. One can be a wonderful looping and nose dive aviator but scores no air victories.

In my opinion bravado is everything and that is of course the line of us germans. Thats why we will always have air superiority even if the enemy has much more flying machines.



The frenchman likes to ambush his enemy, to assail. This is hardly possible in the air.

Only a rookie can be taken by surprise.

To bushwack doesnt work as one cannot hide and the invisible airplane has not been invented yet.

From time to time his gaulish blood flares up , then he suddenly attacks. But it is to be compared with the bubbling of a soda bottle.

For one moment, a impressing amount of courage , but it soon fades away completely. The frenchman lacks perseverance.

The englishman however , from time to time, shows some of his germanic blood.

That sportsman loves the flying but he gets lost in the sporting aspect much too easily.

He likes to show off loopings, nose dives , flying upside down and other jokes to our men in the trenches. This may impress the people at the Johannistaler sport's week but the trench folk is not that much of a thankful audience."

Indeed. I think that was called the Battle for Britain.

quote:

"My enemy landed his burning flying machine without any problems while i myself , as the victorious one , chrashed my plane into barbwire obstacles of one of our reserve trenches nearby.

What followed was a sporty salutation between myself and the two englishmen who obviously were very surprised about my emergency landing , especially as they did not had fired a single shot at me.

They were the first Engländers i had brought down alive. Thats why i felt great fun in having a little chat with them.

Among other things, i asked them wether they had seen my machine before.

"Oh yes !" said one of them.

"I know that one very well, we call it Le petit rouge." (french for "the little red one")

What followed now was a .., at least in my eyes, typical english meanness.

He asked why i had acted so carelessly while our two planes were going down for the landing.

This rogue told me that he had tried to shoot at me during the last 300 meters but his tail machinegun jammed.

There i was, granting quarter to the englishmen in letting them land safely, they accept it, and how do they repay it to me ?

With a deceitful attempt to ambush me !

Since then i never had the chance to speak to one of my enemies again, for reasons that should now be obvious to you my dear reader."

The sign says "The key from an emergency exit is at the warden's desk" Well, not a warden, but a "Warden of the floor", they had one for each floor sometimes in student dorms. Still strange how in order to escape a building, you need to first go ask for a key



Im sure Foe knows who this is

Yes, yes he does. Ahh even Foe has forgotten about this. It was a children's story that was later made into a cartoon. A part of Foe's childhood
