Steve Wilson of Starship Modeler called the book a
"Marvelous visual discourse on combat aircraft fighting techniques and
their history." He concluded: "Recommended for the military flight
simulation or history enthusiast that wants an artful [sic - meaning, presumably, in this case
well-illustrated], in-depth expression of the essentials of combat aviation and
its past." Greco Francesco from Italy awarded four stars on Amazon, calling it a "Must
buy." He added that he considered it, "...a superb and highly
colorful book..., which was, "...a great look at all of the classic
maneuvers that have ever been produced in the annals of air warfare." He
concluded, "Most Highly recommended." N. Spinetta gave the book a
5-star rating on Amazon
