T H E   I N V E R T E D   V   F O R M A T I O N

This formation is the complete opposite of the V formation. All the disadvantages for the V
 formation are taken out: The wingleader is able to see his riders, though draconic communication
 still is the best means and hand signals as well as verbal communication are close to nil as the
 wingriders can not see their Wingleader. All the advantages of the V formation are still in use,
 as the wingleader and his seconds are able to see the line of Thread, the larger dragons are in
 front, letting the more agile dragons get what is left over, and weyrlings are still able to judge
 the space between themselves and their partners very well. The formation goes as follows:
