lot bombowców B-52 w ugrupowaniu skrzydła
Explanation:
http://www.398th.org/Research/8th_AF_Formations_Description....

The Combat Box Formation was made up of a number of basic airplane relationships. From the smallest to the largest, these formations were:

1.Element Formation: three planes
2.Squadron Formation: four Elements - twelve planes
3.Group Formation: three Squadrons – thirty-six planes
4.Wing Formation: three Groups – one hundred and eight planes

Wing Formation
The positioning relationship of the groups that comprised the wing continued the lead, high and low formation concept. That is the terms lead, high and low also referred to the positioning of the individual group formations in relation to each other in the wing formation. Again there was a Group Lead, Group High, and Group Low arrangement in the Wing Formation.

1.The Lead Bomb Group formation of thirty-six planes was the front of the Wing.
2.The High Bomb Group formation flew above, behind and to the right of the lead.
3.The Low Bomb Group formation flew below, behind and to the left of the lead.

Czy w skład ugrupowaqnia B-52, czyli z czasów późniejszych wchodziło akurat 108 samolotów, za to głowy nie dam.
