I am planning to start studying optimal control, especially the bang-bang problem.
What elementary texts or documents on the subject would you recommend?

A good reference is the recent book Calculus of Variations and Optimal Control Theory: A Concise Introduction by Daniel Liberzon
Optimal Control Theory: An Introduction () by Kirk (1970, 464p) is an older, somewhat more engineering-oriented book, reprinted by Dover Books. It is a good classic.
Start with 1 or both of these. Most other texts are heavier reading than both of these together.
