Sailor Malan

'I do not think that Malan could join a squadron without improving it, however good it was. Not by sword-waving, but by a strength of mind and integrity that are at once recognisable and effective...he was the best pilot of the War' - Air Commodore Al Deere, C.B.E., D.S.O., D.F.C.

„Nu cred ca Malan s-ar putea alatura unei escadrile fara a-l imbunatati, oricat de bun ar fi fost. Nu prin fluturarea sabiei, ci printr-o forta a mintii si a integritatii care sunt in acelasi timp recunoscute si eficiente ... el a fost cel mai bun pilot al razboiului „Comodorul aerian Al Deere, CBE, DSO, DFC
