A very regimented line-up of VMF-1. An 18-aircraft squadron's first section's colour was red, the second section was white, the third blue, the fourth black, the fifth green and the sixth yellow. A section leader's aircraft had a fully coloured cowling and a fuselage band, while the first wingman had the upper half of the cowling coloured and the second wingman the lower half. This system was dropped in 1940. VMF-1 became VMF-111 on 1 July 1941. Photo by: Dmitri Kessel / Life
