Adolf Galland quotes
" According to Goering and the Luftwaffe High Command, they were supposed to be the fighter elite. "

Adolf Galland
" And most of these pilots were lost during the first five flights. "

Adolf Galland
" Fuel in short supply during WWII in very rare cases only. In Africa, in Sicily, sometimes in Russia. But only for a short time. "

Adolf Galland
" I could not claim them because I was not supposed to be flying in combat. "

Adolf Galland
" I didn't have very many missions because I had been grounded already in late '41. "

Adolf Galland
" I flew missions anyway. Absolutely against orders. But I knew that my friends in the same position had done it also. "

Adolf Galland
" I flew the 109 for the first time in Spain. But my squadron didn't fully convert to 109s until after I left Spain and my squadron was taken over by Werner M//lders. "

Adolf Galland
" I had to inspect all fighter units in Russia, Africa, Sicily, France, and Norway. I had to be everywhere. "

Adolf Galland
" I made a written report which is still today in existence. I have a photocopy of it, and I am saying that in production this aircraft could perhaps substitute for three propeller- driven aircraft of the best existing type. This was my impression. "

Adolf Galland
" I personally was convinced that if this aircraft is a little bit further developed, the engines are more reliable, and the aircraft fuselage has been redesigned to nose-wheel, then it would be a perfect fighter. "

Adolf Galland
" I think the Lightning was an equal mistake. "

Adolf Galland
" I would like to mention that I have flown the 262 first in May '43. At this time, the aircraft was completely secret. I first knew of the existence of this aircraft only early in '42 - even in my position. This aircraft didn't have any priority in design or production. "

Adolf Galland
" If we would have had the 262 at our disposal - even with all the delays - if we could have had in '44, ah, let's say three hundred operational, that day we could have stopped the American daytime bombing offensive, that's for sure. "

Adolf Galland
" In the last months we got pilots who had fifty hours total flying time, including five hours of the operational aircraft. It's not very much. "

Adolf Galland
" It was amazing the procedure to start this prototype which was still sitting on a tail wheel; a lot of them were not able to bring the tail up, so they had painted a white stripe across the runway, and after passing this white stripe you had to use the brakes, shortly in order to get the tail off. "
