Will the Allied aircraft inventory include any of the many planes that never made it overseas? (The Buccaneer comes to mind)..
Just wondering if CONUS might be defendable with them, at player option.

Am I on somebodies' green button list??[&:]

A question on pilot fatigue: in WITP every pilot accumulated 1 point of fatigue for 1 hex he was flying, no matter if transfer, attacks or whatever. How will this be treated in AE when a hex is now 40 miles instead of 60? Still with 1 point of fatigue? Would mean that an AE pilot would accumulate 1/3 more fatigue than a WITP pilot for the same distance flown. I hope not.

thx

Asumming there are 500 types of aircraft models in AE, could we ADD more types (and graphics ) of planes ?

Could we get a look at the some of the new plane graphics?  I would love to see the different Hurricane types and the observation (O-47, O-49) types. 
Thanks

Will the game actually have those observation planes in other than an abstract way?..I mean, with 40 mile hexes, it would be justified and (to me), a good thing.......

It is now possible in AE to see WIA pilots (with 0 kills) in their unit pilots list? or SAIEW?

Are the F-7 recon version of the B-24 in AE? Not a huge factor but there was a squadron assigned to 6th Recon Group in NG/PI(1943-45) and another assigned to India (1944-45). Certainly not an important aircraft in numbers terms but able to give the Allies a little more Recon punch

The air unit box has a couple of new types listed.
 
What is BM?
 
I assume AB is attack bomber. Is the AD Skyraider an AD? How do they attack? (FBs, DBs and TBs drop to a certain altitude to bomb)
 
May we see a screen shot of the AD Skyraider box?
