I owned this book decades ago, when I started flight simming on Janes F-15 and Falcon 4. The book got lost or discarded in the shuffle of life. I recently started playing DCS and wanted a book that explained BFM. So, I repurchased it. It's expensive, but cheap compared to the money one spends on a computer, VR googles, and DCS modules. I'm 55 now. Last time I owned this book I was in my mid-20s. My brain has probably atrophied a bit over the decades. Thus, I found it more difficult comprehending the principles of BFM, intercepts, etc. Still, this is a fantastic reference, highly reccomended for combat flight simulations. I won't lose it again.

海外の書評でも軒並み高評価を得ている本書は、市販されている戦闘機教本として唯一にして最高峰の書籍であろう。 自機と敵機のポジショニングや武装、機数、天候など空戦に関係するあらゆる要素を考慮しつつ、個々のシチュエーションに応じた解説がなされており、（ゲームでの）実用性に非常に優れている。図解は地味だが、点数の多さと丁寧な説明がそれを補っている。 ネット対戦でいつも撃墜されて、その敗因がわからないというプレイヤーにはお勧めの一品。英文も努めて平易に書かれている点が好感がもてるが、400ページのボリュームなので、読破には少々の覚悟は必要。 Read more

Un très bon livre sur le combat aérien moderne, même s'il faut s'accrocher sur certains passages, car les notions abordées sont pointues, et en anglais bien sur ! Mais c'est la bible absolue pour tous les amateurs de vol et de combat ! Excellent livre. Read more

This is the real deal, not written for the gamer but for real-world combat pilots with a solid base of knowledge and experience already under their belts. That said, there is still a lot of very useful information in here for the sim-pilot or space-sim-pilot as well. I'd recommend reading a section, then practicing it to gain an understanding and a feel for it before moving on to the next section since it is written in such a way that one part builds upon the previous parts. Thanks for recommending this, US Naval Institute! Read more
