Firstly – is there a Yahoo group (or similar) that supports the Scramble! rules from A and A games. Secondly – Can anyone recommend good sourcebooks on Bomber and Fighter tactics (both sides) during the Battle of Britain, particularly how axis fighter screens interacted with the Bomber squadrons (hope this makes sense).

For Scramble support there is not a dedicated Yahoo group but try the 1-600thMiniatureAircraftWargaming yahoo group and search for posts pertaining to Scramble! Now there are some support pages for it at A&A Games: link Kieran Mahoney has a page here: 6mm.wargaming.info/page7.shtml Last I posted some optional rules and solo scenarios here: link Hope this helps. BTW these are my fav rules for WW2 aerial combat!

There are some yahoo groups that focus on air wargaming, as opposed to scramble in particular, but I'm not sure just how "alive" they are…

Not sure exactly what you're looking for on tactics, but Battle of Britain Illustrated by Lightsey (can't remember the other author's name), published by McGraw-Hill.
