I'm in trouble already, you gotta have keen eyesight, I spend hours chasing dots  around the map.  Figured I was a leet fighter pile-it that no one wanted to mess with till I cleaned my monitor and realized I had been chasing around dots on my screen.

Hmm... nice film, even though pretty one sided, but what did it actually have about tactics?

They mentioned turnfighting, hit and run (which included all types of engage/disengage maneuvering and was also called energy fighting), but never explained them any further. Then it was all about Thunderbolts, Lightnings and Ponies, a bit about SA with vague explanations of deflection shooting.
Finally, in the end something like "bad tactics make you dead.. good tactics makes you an ace" :)

OK... maybe "WW2 American fighter pilots and their planes - 101" but hardly "Fighter Tactics 101", like it was named. Still a nice film.
