Basic Fighter Combat Manual (1976)

The Basic Fighter Combat Manual is a WWII air-to-air combat simulation designed by Lou Zocchi in 1976. According to the author, Basic Fighter Combat is intended as a training device for Gamescience's Advanced Fighter Combat Game.

Players of this game will recognize the compass rose airplane squares printed on red construction paper. These are very similar to the more familiar starship squares used in Gamescience's earlier (and more familiar) Alien Space offering.
