About this Quote

This quote by Douglas Bader is describing a time during World War II when he as well as his fellow pilots were flying around the shore near Dunkirk, France. They were searching for opponent aircraft, which appeared to be spread and also disordered. This recommends that the opponent was not well-coordinated and also was not able to efficiently reply to the existence of the Allied forces. Bader's quote suggests that the opponent was unable to place a solid defense versus the Allied forces, which allowed the Allies to acquire a benefit in the battle. This quote also highlights the relevance of having an efficient as well as natural armed forces force, as it can be the difference between victory and also loss. Bader's quote is a testament to the importance of having a solid as well as unified military pressure, as well as it functions as a reminder of the importance of having actually a linked and arranged army pressure in order to be successful in battle.
