Air HQs, where? newbie Q

[Magrathea]

I see air HQs are mentioned in the manual but i can't find them in the game itself; bases don't seem to claim themselves as air HQs, there doesn't seem to be an air HQ Unit and i can't find anything else but a brief description of their effects in the manual. So, in the game itself, how is an air HQ represented and can they be moved etc?

Thanks

i do not think there are any at start. They show up later in the game

Depends on Scenario, but this is 17 at 100%...

Fourth Air Fleet (Turn 360)
Eleventh Air Fleet (Rabaul-Game Start)
14th Air Brigade (Turn 131)
4th Air Army Headquarters (Turn 462)
6th Air Division Headquarters (Turn 191)
7th Air Division Headquarters (Turn 462)

Why this is important...

Air HQ’s will help air operations within their operational radius. Level bombers not located within an air HQ’s command radius will have their number of planes flying reduced by 25% for Offensive missions. All other air strike missions by units outside an air HQ’s command radius will have the flying planes reduced by 10%.

The command radius for most air HQ’s is six hexes. However, Japanese air division HQs have a command radius of three hexes. Japanese air brigade HQs have a command radius of one hex.
