PDF of "No Guts, No Glory!" by Maj. Gen. Blesse - http://www.simhq.com/_air/PDF/NGNG.pdf

Aside from the "Stay at high mach", pretty applicable. The PDF makes for a fantastic read, and although it is aimed more at mid 50's jets, with later versions edited for 60's era jets, much of it applies to propeller planes as well. No Guts, No Glory! has served as a tactical read for both the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Air Force, the Royal Air Force, the Chinese Nationalist AF, and the Korean Air Force. Seriously, it's great and tremendously informative.

Probably the best advice: "Hope they're not MiGs!"
