> The main tactic was to draw the bandit into a ‘single-circle’ fight, meaning that one aircraft was chasing the other around the circle.
I'm curious about the use of 'single-circle' here. The way it's described makes it sounds like a nose-to-tail engagement ("one aircraft chasing the other around the circle"), which is usually called "two-circle" online (although I've always found that terminology confusing). Does single-circle have different meaning to Canadian pilots, or am I misunderstanding what's described?
I think you're misunderstanding what you read elsewhere? Single-circle lines up with what I've seen elsewhere (e.g. https://i.imgur.com/a4YEBc1.png ) and the plain meaning of the words.
