Re: USAAF Fighter Battle Formation - how did it work?
Yes, indeed either "hand" at different times of the flight, as the elements and wingmen would cross-over as the leader turned right or left. They were not close in tight in a rigid formation but only fluidly attached. This led to the USAF terming this the Fluid Four at some later stage, as it directly represented the most significant and useful feature.
