Squadron Subsections

Post by Charybdis »

Does anyone know how early US Naval Air Squadrons were sub divided. Pre war, each section (?) had a color with a full band on the cowling for the leader and halves for the wingmen. Were there three planes to a section? Did this continue through WW2? Thanks
