Formations in Air
Description
An account of the resource
Heavy bombers flew in formation, mostly commonly in "the combat box" conceived early in the air war. It consisted of multiple 12-bomber groups flying in a box-like shape. Its smallest component was an element, a triangle of three bombers. The goal was to amass firepower and defensive strength against enemy attacks.
Formations began above base, and multiple bases linked together over East Anglia into a massive bomber stream.
Formation flying, while intended to provide additional protection, was also very dangerous. Mid-air collisions were common, especially in bad weather.
