"The fighter aeroplane can not run away,” declared Major Stewart. "All his fire. Is con- centrated in a forward direc- tion and directly he tries to fly away, an enemy plane is able to pin itself on to his tail. It might be able to fire"a gun from the rear, but when * fighter is running away, it has to try and defend itself with perhaps two guns in the rear against its opponent's eight guns and it has to be remem-" bered that an aeroplane is more vulnerable attack from the air than from any other direction. So that machine running away puts itself in a position in which it is likely to be shot down.”
