Author Topic: air combat maneuvers? Darkstar Member Member # 3656 posted 03-27-2000 03:42 PM             I'm wondering if you guys can recommend any articles or websites describing the various air combat maneuvers one can perform? I want to know what to do in head-on passes, when the enemy is on six or whatever cause I really suck at this right now.. and I don't seem to have any SA at all.. heh.. Some pictures to go along with text describing offensive and defensive tactics would sure be handy.. Know any sites with some good info on this matter?

Darkstar, Try this site: http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Metro/8853/ It's done by an excellent pilot in my very own No609 Squadron who knows his AC maneuvers. S! Relent ------------------ C.O.

It is generally held up as the holy bible of ACM my copy ran me around $30 or so.

Thanks again for the suggestions!
