A Dr. Jerry Berlin has done a lot of work on the subject, as has a number of shrinks on F1 level race drivers, there is some similarities. Dr. Berlin worked for the Israeli AF to select pilots and earned a great deal of respect for it.

I can't say what he learned and how he applied despite several conversations with him, they were more social situations. I honestly don't think the USAF has a real psych profile in mind beyond the tests. It does all sort itself in pilot training, the confident, aggressive types get th fighters.
