This page from a confidential WWII fighter tactics manual explains the 'High Side Approach,' a standard aerial attack technique used by U.S. Army Air Forces pilots to engage enemy aircraft from an elevated angle while minimizing exposure to defensive fire. Detailed diagrams illustrate the recommended altitude, distance, and firing angles for the maneuver, reflecting the rigorous, standardized training pilots received before combat in theaters such as China-Burma-India.
