Quotes by Vincent Orange (?)

“It was at this time that he formulated a basic principle for the conduct of the Battle of Britain: that it was better to spoil the aim of many German aircraft than to shoot down a few of them.”
― Vincent Orange, Park: The Biography of Air Chief Marshal Sir Keith Park, GCB, KBE, MC, DFC, DCL
