If he doesn't know it, it likely doesn't exist.

I see he wrote some books. Now it is begining to be a problem with choosing
the 'best ones'...

You might contact him for more advice.

You really think he has time for writing mails to flight-noobs like me?

Ya never know.

Shaw's book is an excellent resource. But, you'd be advised to already
know the basics such as what a high and low speed yo-yo are, what
lead, lag and pure pursuit curves are, what radial g is about, what
e-m (energy manuverabilty) and P-sub-S deal with, what mutual support
is about in a free/engaged fighter scenario, and what weapons
parameters in a comparative scenario mean, things like F-poles.

Your initial query does little to establish your start point in the
discussion. You might seek out an old pamphlet by Boots Blesse titled
"No Guts, No Glory" or watch some reruns of the "Dogfight" series on
the History Channel. Seriously, they are good primers on the topic.
