Leo,
Lanoe was a born leader, developed a solid theory on airfighting and was also a capable inventor/innovator, constantly tinkering with gunmounts, bombracks etc. Whilst he did not 'codify' too much beyond "attack everything",as did Boelcke, he led by example and taught his young charges well. Take away all of his victories and he would still have been one of the greats. regards Darryl
