Werner Mölders
Most notable in its development and use in the "Luftwaffe" were Günther Lützow and Werner Mölders and their fellow airmen. In the "Luftwaffe", the flight () was made up of two pairs () of aircraft. Each "Rotte" was composed of a leader and a wingman. The "Rottenführer" (pair leader) would attack enemy aircraft, leave his wingman to scan for threats and protect him while he engaged the enemy. The Germans thus eschewed the Finnish Air Force's more flexible approach.
