If you held your fire until you were very close, you seldom missed. - Douglas Bader

Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you can't do this or that. That's nonsense. Make up your mind, you'll never use crutches or a stick, then have a go at everything. Go to school, join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.

If you came out of the sun, the enemy could not see you.

If you had the height, you controlled the battle.
