				American Escort Fighter Formation Details
			 
			Hello to everybody, 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Looking for detailed information regarding Escort Fighter Formations during 1944. I have some rough information about the Flight codes. Is it right that each flight had to consist of 4 planes, each squadron about 4 flights? Was the position of for example the red flight always the first, followed by green on the left hand wing side? If someone had position 2 in yellow flight what does that mean? Was he flying on left wing or right wing side of the flight leader? What color name was that one of a fifth flight? I know red, green, blue and yellow flight. Were there any other? Is there a document available which shows how it actually was meant somewhere on the net? Thanks for any help in advance. Kurtl  |
