RE: Does building fortifications increase AA value?

The question is ambiguous.

Is it asking, "Does it increase your anti-aircraft capability - ability to shoot down planes"?

Or is it asking, "Does it increase your defense against aircraft - reducing the amount of damage your units take from a bombing raid?"
