If you want to go anywhere in modern war, in the air, on the sea, on the land, you must have command of the air.

A nation's ability to fight a modern war is as good as its technological ability.

Only the man who disciplines himself strictly can stand for long the terrific pace of modern war.

The first lesson is that you can't lose a war if you have command of the air, and you can't win a war if you haven't.

Modern American war is as easy to script as a B movie.

Where one despises, one cannot wage war. Where one commands, where one sees something beneath one, one ought not to wage war.
