Hi all,

New to the forum, very happy to be here.

I'm looking to trace the evolution of tactical formations in the Luftwaffe (IJN and IJA as well) using primary sources.

While the USN and USAAF produced a lot of training material, I can't find nearly as much on the axis side.

It would be neat to see original axis manuals showing three-plane vics, then later in the war, two and four plane schwarm. While I know that Molders is widely given credit for this innovation during his time with the Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War, I have never seen any documentation or training aids.

If anyone can give me a heading I would be very appreciative.

Thanks!
