Overrun an Airbase

[FireDog]

If I overrun an airbase with aircraft in it are the aircraft destroyed? I have a faint memory of reading that most of them are deemed to have flown off.

[Aufklaerungs]

15.10.2. Air Base Unit Displacement
If an Air Base unit is required to displace, all the damaged aircraft in their attached air group units are automatically destroyed. Ready and reserve aircraft are considered to have been able to fly out prior to the displacement. Note that reserve aircraft are categorized as 'unready' in the hex pop-up text, so unless all 'unready' aircraft are damaged, some unready aircraft (those in reserve) will not be destroyed by displacement, but will still appear as 'unready' in the hex to which the air base unit is relocated. The ground elements contained in the air base unit suffer normal retreat attrition.

Thanks, I thought I had read something to that effect.

That cite is from WitE, please look at section 6.3.5 of the WitW living manual for correct info.

I will look at that, thanks.
