The weapon where the man is sitting in is always superior against the other.
Erich Hartmann
Image
Of all my accomplishments I may have achieved during the war, I am proudest of the fact that I never lost a wingman.
Erich Hartmann

Every day kill just one, rather than today five, tomorrow ten . . . that is enough for you. Then your nerves are calm and you can sleep good, you have your drink in the evening and the next morning you are fit again.
Erich Hartmann
Image

Erich Hartmann
Image
It was my view that no kill was worth the life of a wingman. . . . Pilots in my unit who lost wingmen on this basis were prohibited from leading a [section]. The were made to fly as wingman, instead.
Erich Hartmann
