Oswald Boelcke Rules of Air Combat
- Make sure you attain a position of advantage when in air combat (speed, altitude, numerical superiority, position), before you attack.
- Fly from out of the sun.
- When you start an attack, prosecute it to the end.
- Fire the machine gun at close range and only when you have your opponent well in your sights.
- Go after the opponent from where he cannot see you.
- In any form of attack, it is required to approach the enemy from behind.
- If you are attacked by an opponent diving on you from above, do not try to dodge the attack, but turn into and toward the attacker.
- If you find yourself over enemy lines, always keep an eye toward your own direction of retreat.
- For squadrons: The principle method of attack is to fly in groups of four to six aircraft. When the fight scatters into single battles, make sure that not too many comrades fall upon any single opponent.
Most all these points really do work in AH too!
