Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
'In Pursuit' is a thorough anthology of all facets of the life of a fighter pilot. 'In Pursuit' covers, in detail, all of the positives and negatives, the things to do and the things not to do in order to become a 'Top Gun' as a fighter pilot. Richly illustrated and sometimes humorous, 'In Pursuit' is the budding and intermediate online pilot's companion to multiplayer fighter combat.
Virtual pilots worldwide suspend reality and live in the fantasy of being Sierra Hotel fighter pilots, flying and fighting over war-torn Europe, seat-of-the-pants style, in massively multiplayer online games. Whether the pilot seeks the thrill of the moment or strives to recreate an environment approximating history, one trait is common: the will to succeed and to excel. And that is what 'In Pursuit' is about - to help neophyte and intermediate virtual pilots surpass the thresholds to acedom.

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.
Rated by buyers -
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.

If your ready to get on the fast track to online flying then this is for you . It will save you hundreds of hours of learning the ropes by yourself .

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.
