Beta v1083c: LBA Airgroup Converting from 25 to 12!?

See the attached save game & Operations Report. What happened is:

"18th FG/6th FS converting to size 12 from 25"

I know various land squadrons have their size converted, but I've only seen those go up, not down. This land based fighter unit was moved by CVE Long Island from Palmyra to Pearl Harbor so it would upgrade from P-40B to P-40E (which it did aboard ship). It then was transported (still aboard Long Island) back to Palmyra.

Some turns later I noticed it had 12 ready planes and 13 in reserve. So, I went looking though the operations reports to find what happened.

The group is scheduled to resize to 12 in Jan 43.

I don't move the excess back to the pool when the size goes down.
Something to consider for next patch.

Okay - I figured it was likely either an OOB error or a bug because it's the only LBA squadron I've seen go down in size. Thanks!

IIRC this is also a unit that became a NF squadron (6th NFS flying P-70s) so it's downsize would be correct.
