This 3 plane formation caused so many casualties among pilots. It is so hard to maintain and you focus is to keep formation leaving you an easy prey during an attack. That is why 2 plane formation was adopted.

I agree, I found this video doing research on formations in early war. Most navy pilots adopted 2 man formations and using the Thatch weave. By the end of 1942 anyone who didn't was no longer around
