This is a link to the declassified Aerial Attack Study by John Boyd.  I think a lot of my fellow wonks may find the interplay between emergency management, technical details of seeker heads and other things rather interesting.  This document evolved in the early 1960s after Capt. Boyd had flown in Korea and came back to weapons school.  At the time, the Air Flrce was committed to stand-off missiles and was convinced the dogfight was done.  

Service politics being what they are, Boyd retired as a Colnel and had his biggest impact after retirement giving us airplanes like the F-5 and F-16.
