Should we have a pinned thread to share useful literature/links?

[Nipil]

So every aspiring flight simmer, especially if he is into military aviation, has a problem. He needs to get a comprehensive understanding of flying and (in our case) air combat. Learning by doing has only limited application in such a complex business as flying. Learning by consuming isolated titbits of information like videos and small posts on the Internet does not allow you to build a comprehensive picture. So, sooner or later all of us have to search for some literature/other sources which could help us build a comprehensive picture of what we try to simulate. Be it the basics of flying, or the basics of modern(ish) air combat tactics, etc.

There is many information lying around on the Internet, oftentimes available for free, thankfully. But it's incredibly hard for someone with no IRL aviation background to understand where to start, how to tell good quality sources from bad ones, and how not to miss something important. Even those with hundreds of hours' experience in combat flight sims can sometimes find themselves a little disorientated in this regard. So, my suggestion is, why not create a thread where we can share some useful media like books, IRL manuals etc. about military aviation? Like books/manuals on air combat tactics, BFM, formation flying etc. For general aviation one can already easily find similar threads on other civilian flight sims' forums, so military aviation-related stuff should take priority. 

This way, we could collect a lot of necessary information from high quality sources in on place for all beginners to learn. And even veterans could discover something new! Inb4 "one can do research himself": that's true, and that's what we all do, but why not ease each others' burden a little? If we educate the newcomers properly, everyone would benefit from increased human capital in the community.

And of course, we all respect the 1.16 rule and laws of every country, so only legally available content should be shared, no currently classified or pirated data.
