(First comments)

Can inline citations be added to the article? That would really be grand. nadav (talk) 05:21, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

The Germans were one of the first, to independently develop the finger four formation, but so were the Finns according to the ex Commander in Chief of the Finnish Air Force. http://www.sci.fi/~fta/FAFhist.htm. The FAF developed the formation early and took it into use in 1935 to 1936. When did the germans first use it? If it was developed during the spanish civil war, then they were not the first, but second to develop the formation. Nasula (talk) 21:22, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Can someone verify this sentence in the article? "the flight wingman covers the rear of the second element and the element wingman covers the rear of the lead element." I am confused because wouldn't the flight wingman cover the flight leader and the element wingman cover the element leader? I couldn't find any other information on this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.246.1.144 (talk) 16:40, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Finger Four = Fingertip?

I am currently looking at the MCH 11F16 Vol. 5 (F-16 Combat Aircraft Fundamentals, Multi-Command Handbook) and it calls the Finger Four formation 'Fingertip.' From the description they appear to be the same formation. (75.65.220.204 (talk) 21:43, 14 November 2013 (UTC))
