There is one published by McGraw Hill ... title is something obvious like
  "Falcon".  It's written by a veteran F-16 Wing (squadron?) Leader.
  I was sort of disappointed in it since I was looking for real tactics
  and stuff, but the book doesn't really cover much more than what you can
  pick up out of the instruction manual.  He does give stories about his
  experences and he also expounds on the history of fighter aircraft.

It is worth looking at ... you may like it if you find the instructions too
  brief.  I was hoping to find out how those Migs turn on my tail faster than
  I can when they do a fly by ... I always stall out at when I'm flying at 
  ranks above Major.

The cover has a great shot of an F-16 armed with AMRAAM's.
