John Boyd
John Boyd was known as
“Forty-Second Boyd” throughout the Air
Force because of his promise to
beat anyone in simulated air-to-air combat in forty seconds or less. He
was taken up on his offer many times and never lost. Boyd turned his
natural combat skills into teaching tools for his fellow pilots, coining
his famous Energy-Maneuverability Theory, which completely changed the way
fighter pilots fought. His theory was even employed in the future design
of aircraft, allowing manufacturers to design planes that had great
maneuverability. His theories changed tactical fighting forever.
