This is the Aircraft Replacement Pool sorted on the number of aircrft in the pool. I've excluded the Soviet nation from this list. Truth be told, I don't have enough planes to fight a war. This isn't nearly enough. So the fix for that is to wait until you do have enough for the main event and dole out those few you do have for those brushfires that are going to happen. I notice that I'm not producing enough either. I'm wondering if there's a way I can change that.

Unlike the Japanese, the Allies can't control aircraft production. You basically having to make do with what war material isn't being sent to fight the Germans and Italians. You have to play the long game until later in the war when you start to get substantial replacement & production rates every month of far better planes. It's the arrival of the Pacific-oriented Corsairs and the Hellcats in 1943 that really mark the turning of the air tide.

I was in the process of looking into my aircraft and I've run into the 2nd AVG Squadron based at Kweliin, China, and it could upgrade if only there were enough P-40E's in the pool. And it looks like we're not producing any either. But I notice that there are plenty of squadrons that are already equipped with them. So I'm thinking I can downgrade the two P-40E squadrons at EC and use the planes available to then upgrade the AVG.

TF72 has arrived at Pearl and is now unloading the 8th Marine Infantry Regiment and as soon as it's empty I'll drop off the damaged ships, maybe add what APs are available at Pearl to the TF and set off for SFO again to move even more LCUs to Pearl. There's a lot of stuff to move still, especially aircraft. I'd like to get a lot more Navy aircraft out to Pearl although there's a lot of Army aircraft to be moved as well.

I've built TF473 with 3 BBs and 3 DDs and they are to plow a path for TF356 which is carrying some supply and various LCUs for Pearl.
