"Wouldn't it be amazing if you could travel into the future, see where you messed up, and then go back in time to rearrange things in order to make your future better? You can. If you can foresee regret, you can mind-travel to the future. If you can train yourself to mind-travel effectively, you can intentionally affect your future by doing something about it today."

Military
"It's unbelievable what one squadron of twelve aircraft did to tip the balance."
Balance
"This would only come if you have a revolutionary change in technology like the jet brought about."
Change
"Nine g's is good, if the pilot can stand it. We couldn't stand it. Not in the airplanes of World War II."
War
"Of course, the outcome of the war would not have been changed. The war was lost perhaps, when it was started. At least it was lost in the winter of '42, in Russia."
War
"We had at our disposal the first operational jet, which superseded by at least 150 knots the fastest American and English fighters. This was a unique situation."

Impression
"I had to inspect all fighter units in Russia, Africa, Sicily, France, and Norway. I had to be everywhere."
