The T-34 manual on that website is practically useless.

Hmm, considering that it is THE most referenced resource when you talk with
the various amateur formation groups, I'd say "useless" is simply wrong.
The T-34 manual is the basis for most of the amateur formation training
clinics that are held every year. It gives pilots a common set of terms and
procedures, as well as a common set of visual signals that are used for
communicating within a formation without creating a bunch of radio chatter.
