1. Wait till you see the whites of their eyes before opening fire. Fire short bursts of about one to two seconds and only when your sights are definitely "on".
2.When shooting think of nothing else (note rule 3)
3. Always keep a sharp look-out even when manoevring for, and executing an attack, and in particular immediately after a breakaway, never watch a "flamer"
4. If you have the advantage of height you automatically possess the intiative.
5. Always turn and face the attack. If attacked from a superior height wait untill your opponent is well committed to his dive and within about 1,500 yards from you. Then turn suddenly towards him.
6. Make your decision promptly and smartly. It is usually better to act quickly and decisively when attacked or evading, even though your action is not necessarily the best possible.
7. Never fly straight and level for more than 30 seconds at any time whilst in the combat area or at any time when enemy aircraft are likely to be encountered
8. When diving to attack always leave aproportion of your formation above to act as top guard.
9. Initiative; aggression; air discipline; team work; are words that mean something in air fighting.
10. Get in quickly, punch hard, get out smartly
