There are many great books under the subject `The art of war'.But most of them
describing the war in an qualitive way.I wonder there any good book treat this
tropic( especially the art of tactics) in an quantitive way. ie.In the language
 of modern game theory.

I have two questions:
1. What are the best books on the SR-71 Blackbird available?
2. What are the best books on combat helicopters available?
Please comment on the strengths and weaknesses of any books
(e.g. the amount and quality of the pictures and the amount
of technical information).  Please also mention the price
and date of the book.  I would appreciate it if you would
mail replies to guozhonp@caen.engin.umich.edu
Thanks in advance
