An expanded version of Dicta Boelcke?

WAY expanded. It goes into excruciating detail about exactly how to accomplish many of the things Boelke recommends, and more. Its pretty dry reading, but that's to be expected given its used as a textbook at the US Naval Academy.

Here's a pic of its author (LtCmdr Robert "Mouse" Shaw) having a friendly discussion of ACMs with renowned WW2 P51 ace Bud Anderson at the Y2K AWCon:

I don't know his call sign here, but I do remember him saying he flew Aces High as well as Air Warrior.
