Well... I just wanted to point out that there were some guys who started =
the team flying and made use of it first.
Just remind some names like Makula (Edward), Kepka, Popiel, Witek, =
Muszczynski and some other Poles whose names I can't remember at the =
moment.

Just my 2c,

Regards,

One form of team flying (the form you and most are probably thinking
of) is the close team where the two gliders are rarely or never more
than a few hundred meters apart. The extreme variant: If for some
reason the gap gets too big, the one ahead waits (even deploys
spoilers!) for the other to catch up. If one has to outland, the other
will join him. Successful examples: French team at the WGC in Wiener
Neustadt, the Frei brothers who won the pre-Worlds in Bayreuth. They
tied for first place twice in the Swiss Nationals.
