   Enough here, there is a
   great book on all this available from the
   Naval Association Press called Fighter Tactics.  It
   is good reading for the tacticians out there and is 
   an one of the best textbooks on fighter tactics today.

A good reference, except that the book is "Fighter Combat: Tactics
and Maneuvers" by Robert Shaw.

Not only am I familiar with it, it's where I got the quote in my .sig!
