Hello,

As far as I know, Rotte is a German name of a pair of aircraft. Some time ago I noticed such sentence told by former Luftwaffe pilot:
"Um 10 Uhr sollten zwei Rotten mit jeweils vier Maschinen starten."

How to understand it? Is it possible that "Rotte" was also used to name a formation of 4 aircraft (Schwarm)?

Thanks!
