Indeed, the formations were present, but they appear to function
individually or in pairs. In the same way that ww2 destroyers etc may be
grouped into squadrons/ flotillas. The star wars 'fighters' (at least
the
rebels) behave as significant components of the fleet.

And, as you point out, thge hereos need to get a significant proportion
of
'air time'.
