Thanks for the correction. -must have been in too much of a rush to post.

I think Malan's two extra rules are, '4.Height gives you the initiative.' and 6.Make your decisions promptly. It is better to act quickly even though your tactics are not the best.'

4, would have been an advantage in both wars but I wonder if 6 was added due to the changing pace of air combat.

The rest sort of cross over.

I've tried the two hand trick and it helps when making small adjustments on my Warthog, but you realy need a centre mounted stick otherwise it just awkward.
