Historic maxims of air combat

[gareth herts]

Hi all

Not a flier myself, just an interested observer who has just re-read Robert Prest's "F4 Phantom - A Pilot's Story" for the umpteenth time.

I wondered while reading if there are any of the great maxims of air combat that simply no longer apply in this technological day and age - or are the old rules as useful today as they have always been?

Thanks

Gareth
