This paper considers the dynamic spectrum access and power control problem in a single-hop point-to-point Air-Air Communication Network (AACN). Due to spectrum scarcity, we assume the number of Aircraft-to-Aircraft (A2A) communication links is greater than that of the available channels, such that some communication links need to share the same channel, causing co-channel interference. We formulate the joint channel selection and power control optimization problem to maximize the Weighted Sum Spectral Efficiency (WSSE). A distributed and dynamic deep Q learning-based algorithm is proposed to find the optimal solution. Specifically, we design two different policies that are trained by conducting a trial-and-error scheme. Each communication link can achieve the optimal policy by exploiting the local information from its neighbors, and this distributive approach make it scalable to large networks. Finally, our experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed solution in various AACN scenarios.
