Air fighting tactics, British vs. US, 1941-45.

Does anyone have any references to the above? I get the impression that

the British went in for the 'dogfight' whereas the Americans, due to the

heavier weight and better diving speed of their fighters, preferred a steep

fast attack and a zoom away from their target, given the circumstances of

course. I believe this was the method used in the Pacific where dogfighting

with Zero was not advisable!
