Basic Fighter Maneuvers

The Art And Science Of Air Combat

Author Benard Ochieng'

This book is meant for Air Combat students in College or University and all enthusiasts in the field. This book simplifies and summarizes the key concepts in Basic Fighter Maneuvers(BFMs), also known as Air Combat Maneuvers or dogfighting, and also dives into the history of air combat on how it began to what it is today and how it might look like tomorrow. It is a book for military science and technology readers that covers 1 vs 1 air combat in military aviation. The book explains air combat maneuvering as both a science using scientifically proven facts and as an art, and that is, it gives guidelines in air combat maneuvering based on scientifically proven facts. The book is available in two formats(print and PDF) and uses illustrations to explain 1 versus 1 air combat. This book is dedicated to my father Joseph Omondi Muchura.
