This is brilliant. Thank you so very much. I have one piece of feedback for you - I haven't read the revised version yet, so maybe it's superfluous, but when you refer to USAF fighter pilots being "disenfranchised" with AIM-4D's performance, I think what you mean is "disenchanted". Although that having been said, Robin Olds was probably well justified in feeling "disenfranchised" from the Jet Ace community as a result of the missile's (lack of) performance! I read somewhere that AIM-4D's failure to do its job as advertised was what cost him a fifth kill in Vietnam, and that this was what prompted his disgust with the missile (no ref, sorry).
