Example 3.10 (Fighters and Bombers)
Consider fighter pilots in WW II. A good strategy to attack
bombers is to swoop down from the sun: Hun-in-the-sun
strategy. But the bomber pilots can put on their
sunglasses and stare into the sun to watch the fighters. So
another strategy is to attack them from below Ezak-Imak
strategy: if they are not spotted, it is fine, if they are, it is
fatal for them (they are much slower when climbing). The
table contains the survival probabilities of the fighter
pilot.
