The German Air Force has driven home this point by taking the lead in speeding up the tempo of war-in-the-air, and at least one Briton spoke plain truth about the opposing air forces last week. Air Marshal Ernest Leslie Gossage observed that British and Germans were "only sparring, with each side sizing up the other."
