More About the Author
I'm a marketing professional - copywriter and creative director - who spent far too much time in the past indulging in online air combat simulations. In so doing I learned through my own and others' mistakes what works and patently does not work in the virtual sky. Toward the end of my active career I sat down and wrote a series of books of which In Pursuit is the first but by no means the last. I'm happy that people all over the world seem to have found some use for and perhaps comfort from my experiences. Stay tuned for more, and in the mean while, let paranoia be your wingman.

Highly Recommended!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: In Pursuit: A Pilot's Guide to Online Air Combat (Paperback)
EXCELLENT resource, I rccomend it for anyone who flies. Points out a lot of the minor mistakes we all make, plus its written from the POV of someone with the same approach to flying and fighting that I try to follow, so its been a big eye opener for me.
Also I noticed a lot of stuff that I used to do and have moved away from, and have taken a big hit in my survivability and Kill : Death ratio as a result of. A lot of the rules I followed religiously in the AvA I've moved away from, and have lost a lot of proficiency as a result. As I've been reading through, I frequently remember using the tactic he describes properly- and just often I can recall a recent situation where I should have used them and instead got suckered into a furball or a turnfight simply because I forgot all the things I should know. Kinda irritating to have your errors pointed out at you, but also helps to be reminded of what works and what doesn't.

Excellent Resource!!,
By ElTorrente "A Reviewer" (Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In Pursuit: A Pilot's Guide to Online Air Combat (Paperback)
This book is just excellent. Whether you are a beginner in the world of sim-flying, or an old pro, this is a tremendously useful resource and is a must for every pilot's bookshelf. It cover basic and advanced fighter manuevers, gunnery, psychology, situational awareness, formation tactics, etc etc. Basically everything you need to know to succeed in the competitive world of sim a2a combat.
There are easy to understand diagrams and the text is well-written. I recommend this for anyone with a remote interest in learning the fine-points of air combat. Rookie or ace alike will certainly get a lot out of it.

For newbies and oldies alike,
By Ted Pryst "kotrenin" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In Pursuit: A Pilot's Guide to Online Air Combat (Paperback)
If you are new to online fighter pilot sims then this is a must have. If you have been playing for a while but still suffer the frustration of poor kill:death ratio then it is strongly recommened. It will give you insight and knowledge in the fighter sim world and insite in your own tactics that would take years to learn on your own.
