RAF Spirfires in line astern formation. The line astern is a formation where aircraft fly one behind another, aligned on the same track. Each pilot maintains position by reference to the aircraft ahead, preserving consistent spacing along the line. It is one of the basic WWII fighter formations, used alongside line abreast and others depending on the situation and unit practice. Compared with line abreast, the primary difference is orientation, longitudinal versus lateral spacing. This affects how pilots maintain position and how the formation is arranged in space. Line abreast provides wider lateral coverage between aircraft, while line astern aligns the formation in depth.
