Can anybody supply reference material on fighter performance and tactics?  

Stuff like 

- specific energy and specific power
- what a Luftberry is
- meeting engagements (one circle vs. two circle fights)

I have some material on the above.  I'm interested in finding more detailed
sources.  Also, the material I have focuses on 1 on 1 fights and doesn't
say anything about what the wingman's role is.  Finally, I'm interested in
finding out what a fighter does when escorting a bomber, especially what
he does if a missile (SAM or AAM) is fired at him/the bomber.  What does
the bomber do?
