I recall reading somewhere a while ago that during WW2, Luftwaffe pilots realised that on many occasions, when they came at an RAF aircraft from behind, the RAF pilot would break to the left, and knowing this, enabled to Luftwaffe pilot to keep on the tail of the other aircraft.
Just as an aside, I came to realise that when I rode a motorcycle, alas now many years ago, I was far more relaxed flinging it into a left hand bend than a right hand bend. On the right hander, I was always more twitchy.
Likewise, doing slow maneuvers (frinstance, wheedling in and out of obstacles, cars, etc.,) I could turn or circle to the left at almost nil forward speed with ease, feet up, yet, to the right, I was always 'dabbing'!
