"The Immelmann Turn was very successful .
. . But later, when more powerful engines became available, it was a
dangerous move, for the lower pilot could climb after the Fokker and
attack it when it hung almost motionless in the vertical position,
not under full control, and presenting an easy shot."
Air Vice-Marshal J. E. "Johnnie" Johnson |
