Supplies and fuel movement

Hello
I just started this game and made few turns as allies.
From what I understood in manual, supplies are moved automatically between bases that have rail or road connection.
Well, I noticed one thing. I have plenty of fuel in Manilla and zer fuel in Clark Field. These bases are very close so Manilla should supply Clark Field. But after 4 turns there is still 0 fuel in Clark and number of supplies in Clark is decreasing as well. Any way to fix it?
Also, is it possible to transfer fuel by airplanes? I trie to make transport mission for B-17's but seems it doesn't work.

Only ships need fuel in WITP thus no need for fuel in land locked bases. Planes get their fuel from supply.

YOu can increase supplies at a location by moving in HQ's, heavy bombers, or air transports.

And any base with a HQ there tries to maintain something like 20k supplies...

Only Command HQ's will attract a 20k supply stockpile.
