	RAF Fighter Command - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fighter Command was one of three functional commands that dominated the public perception of the RAF for much of the mid-20th century.
		The supreme test of Fighter Command came during the summer of 1940 when the German Luftwaffe attacked the UK in the Battle of Britain.
		Fighter sweep missions were dangerous, and most of the factors that had allowed Fighter Command to win the Battle of Britain were now reversed.

	20th Fighter Group in WWII
		The steadily improving fire-power of German fighters was making the daylight air assault extremely costly and the situation reached a crisis on 14 October 1943 when 60 of 293 Fortresses dispatched against the ball bearing works at Schweinfurt were destroyed by the Luftwaffe.
		Not a single American fighter is known to have been lost to enemy fighters, and the German assault netted the enemy only 9 B-17s, 2% of the attacking force.
		fighters of the 8th Air Force not only struck vicious blows at the enemy both in the air and on the ground, but it can be safely said that without continuous long range fighter escort, the whole daylight air offensive might well have.

	AVSIM Commercial Review: Nations World War II Fighter Command
		This often occurred in combat when I was hot on the tail of an enemy fighter and I moved the joystick a tad bit too much.
		You'll have an enemy fighter in front of you, centered and you're just set to fire when all of a sudden, the tail decides that it needs to stretch and kicks the aircraft in any direction it chooses.
		Perhaps those that are first time fighter pilots or those looking for a quick, easy kill to boost their ego.

	Nations: Fighter Command (www.combatsim.com)
		In all fairness, part of all this visual strain is the basic flight sim flaw- one, limited size CRT that gives a tiny, myopic window on the air war.
		Fighter Command has no business portraying the Mickey Mouse audio it does in Y2K.
		But when I noticed that every aircraft invoked the sound in level flight at higher but not maximum speeds, including the 262 and 163, I was dismayed.

	Support Services of Fighter Command
		Every pilot that flew his fighter aircraft into battle, and every aircraft that flew in the skies against this formidable enemy was supported by thousands of civilian and military personnel in the support teams.
		It was simply the failure to identify fighters of the RAF and hostile enemy aircraft and the result was that three Hurricanes of the RAF were shot down by friendly Spitfires.
		Basically the workings of IFF, was that aircraft of Fighter Command were fitted with a radiating device that would radiate a much stronger signal back than the signal that it received.

		Fighter Squadrons generally consisted of twelve aircraft, with a reserve of pilots and aircraft maintained to allow for servicing and personnel absence through sickness, leave or training.

		The identification of each aircraft by this designation made the responsibilities of each pilot clear and was an effective method for radio communication and Squadron administration.

	Second World War Books Review
		The author has set himself the stern and admirable task of recording the whole of Fighter Command's war in a lengthy series of day-by-day entries carefully quantifying all the important action in terms of losses and claims, as well as accompanying this numeric data with clarifying notations and thoughtful sidebars.
		As has been seen, the strength of the Royal Air Force fighter squadrons, in terms of front-line quantity, had increased hugely since the beginning of 1941 and the Luftwaffe fighter forces in the west were now heavily outnumbered.
		Fighter Command could, tactically speaking, reckon on a loss ratio of at least 2:1 when fighting over enemy territory, but the ratio had increased to around 4:1 in aircraft, and in pilots it was around 7:1, since a German pilot killed in action was a rarity.

		The federal government is pressing the United States for one of the three global support bases for the $US200bn ($361bn) joint strike fighter – likely to be the frontline fighter-bomber for many air forces for the next three decades – to be located in Australia.
		Air-war strategists might argue the merits of the JSF against competitors such as the Eurofighter Typhoon and French Rafale but there is no doubt it is rewriting the global rules of military aircraft sales.
		Rather, it offers select companies an opportunity to bid for contracts in the global supply of the stealth fighter, which in its different versions for conventional and vertical take-off could run to about 6000 aircraft in the next few decades.

	Nations: WWII Fighter Command for PC Review - PC Nations: WWII Fighter Command Review
		Nations: WWII Fighter Command comes with a manual that has some interesting but irrelevant background information on World War II, a decent discussion of aerial maneuvers, some background on the aircraft, and an adequate description of the game controls.
		The controls are configurable, though oddly enough, you need to hit the "J" key to enable the joystick at the beginning of every mission.
		It's unclear why a game that touts "historical accuracy" and "incredibly realistic and detailed fighters" would include something of this sort, and it's hard to imagine someone in search of an accurate model of a Hawker Typhoon being interested in flying through a "health" power-up.
