Most probably have or have seen a copy -
Shaw, Robert: Fighter Combat - Tactics and Manoeuvring; Naval Institute Press, 1985. ISBN 0-87021-059-9
Good solid text on fighter tactics, with discussion of all sorts of limitations and opportunities for 'the shot' and disengagement. Written by a Naval Aviator, in response to the dearth of material available to him. Has good (but simple) chapters on aircraft performance characteristics.
If anyone is interested in aero-engineering/aerodynamics/stability I can suggest several good titles, and point at interesting NACA/NASA papers online.
