I suggest picking one aircraft to fly (this can be pretty easy if you belong to a squadron) and learn it's strengths and weaknesses. Once you know how to fly (or not to fly) your chosen aircraft you will be able to its strengths and avoid getting into situations in which you will be vulnerable.

Whenever attacking bombers, do not park yourself dead astern, the tail gunner will always get you before you get him. Make head on, diving or oblique attacks against bombers.
