Formation Flying

I would definitely agree with this. The "manual" was meant to be used simply
as a reference guide for the entire T34 Formation package which of course
includes the video. As a stand alone, the manual, as you are correctly
saying doesn't contain nearly the information contained in other general
sources of information on formation flying.

That's exactly my point Dudley.
I am not argueing about the content of the program as it is taught.
Only that the manual by itself is not sufficient.
For that matter, it should not be called a manual at all.
My interpretation of the OP's question was a self contained manual.

This is correct. The video and the manual were meant to be used together
as a system. The manual alone is simply a reference source. The info is
there, but to get the complete picture, you do need the video.

Okay, maybe useless is the wrong word.
Grossly inadequate is more descriptive.
The manual by itself is too basic and leaves out too much really
important information.

My T-34 package included a video which is what provided most of the
information. The manual is just a reference which I do not believe was
meant to serve as a stand alone document.
