This is a fantastic article written in 1985 by two US AF F-15 pilots. It explains and introduces the transition from BVR into the merge, what to look for, and what the fighter pilot should try to achieve. Although limited to a very broad view of the process, it provides an interesting perspective, especially useful to ab initio players.
A fantastic article discussing points relevant to the 4-ship planning and employment, from TACAN management to sort, radios, merge and more.
Another extremely interesting article I came across while researching and studying. This time, the topic is very familiar even to us flight sim players: how many missiles should we shoot during an engagement?
Whilst studying documents about the F-4 Phantom II in the air-to-air role, I came across this short article, written in 1970 by the then Major Don James. The topic is the new, back then, and exciting evolution of the navigator role in the Phantom and the F-111 Aardvark.
