"Orders to protect fixed objects were very much disliked by fighter pilots. Their element is to

attack, to track, to hunt, and to destroy the enemy...tie him to a narrow and confined task, rob

him of his initiative and you take from him the best and most valuable qualities he possesses:

aggressive spirit, joy of action, and the passion of the hunter."
