The Father of Air Combat

In the early years of flight, the tactics for aerial battle had not yet been understood. It was a new way of fighting and lessons had to be learned the hard way, with experience. A few pioneers had to develop the best tactics and write the rules. The most preeminent of these was Oswald Boelcke. One of his most successful protégés was the legendary Red Baron. Boelcke wrote the rules of successful aerial combat that influence the battlefield even today.

    • It depended on the pilot. Billy Bishop went for the man, not the machine. WW 1 was total industrial war where soldiers died nameless as they vanished into the French mud. There was far less hand to hand combat than in previous centuries. Regiments and battalions died by the hundreds of thousands in single campaigns by machine gun and artillery fire they never had a chance to even see. Dreams of honour quickly died in the first mass advance into enemy fire, and the years spent in deep trenches. In the same way, defeat in air combat was most often final. There were few parachutes, and for most of the war, the paper and wood machines flared like matches when hit with the incendiary and explosive bullets used by both sides. The colourful umbrella of chivalry was an illusion quickly shredded in the realities of life and death combat.Maybe it was what the pilots needed to keep going, to tell themselves that they mattered, and that their deaths meant more than that of the ground based soldiers.

  • I think it was Udet that once said when he had the enemy plane in his sights for the first time he decided he didnt want to kill such a helpless fellow soldier of the skies until the observer shot him in the face with a machine gun... Voss Manfred Rickenbacker and Boelcke were the real deal! Ace of aces! When your up there it was very real with little actual honor accept perhaps some of the last fleeting moments of the past chivalry knights brought to life again! These are the guys I read about as a kid and these are the guys that made me successful when I went into the military myself to do what your suppose to do.

  • The Dicta Boelcke 1. Try to secure advantages before attacking. If possible, keep the sun behind you. 2. Always carry through an attack when you have started it. 3. Fire only at close range, and only when your opponent is properly in your sights. 4. Always keep your eye on your opponent, and never let yourself be deceived by ruses. 5. In any form of attack it is essential to assail your enemy from behind. 6. If your opponent dives on you, do not try to evade his onslaught, but fly to meet it. 7. When over the enemy's lines never forget your own line of retreat. 8. For the Staffel (squadron): Attack on principle in groups of four or six. When the fight breaks up into a series of single combats, take care that several do not go for the same opponent. Even today they still apply.
