This would not be an isolated comment either. It's not to say that dogfights didn't happen but they are much romanticized I think.
Actually, in the interview over Kuban, not once does he mention he actually intentionally put his aircraft on the six of an enemy, rather they seemed to fly into his gun-sight.
