numbers of our machines. If they are attacked by large numbers of our machines they drive away to safety - very seldom put up a scrap. Their game is the catch the unwary with none or a few companions and take them by surprise. This last - surprise - paves the road to aerial victory more than any other factor, so the wise leader never allows himself to concentrate too much on any one thing, but keeps a constant watch in all directions. In fact every pilot must keep a sharp lookout. With practice he gets to so he can move his head so you would swear it is on a ball-and-socket joint.
