As I'm busy uploading stuff I figured these documents might be useful.
Can't really give credit to the makers as most of it was grabbed from various forums and websites over the years, but often the documents themselves list the writers.
These are hosted on my dropbox so I can't guarantee they'll be online forever due to space limitations, please save those you'd like to keep.
And if anyone has any more documents or guides to add..please do. :D

Gaming / IL-2 :

InPursuit (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16366755/inpursuit.pdf) : Good Fighter guide for IL-2 1946 covering basics, maneuvers and tactics.
Level bombing manual v2.0. (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16366755/LEVEL_BOMBING_MANUAL_v2.0.rar) : made for 1946 but still useful due to info about formation tactics and carpet bombing.
