I have noticed that it is possible to get pilots on CVs at sea. Actually, I was able to put pilots on KB's CVs located 5 hexes near PH - Quite sure it was not possible IRL[&:]

Hmm, maybe they just crammed a few extra guys into the cockpit and dropped them off [:)]

Those are dehydrated pilots....just add sake and they expand to full size and rejuvenate. Easy to store in the air wing closet until needed. [:'(]

Hum!!! It's a soviet way of fighting, not Japanese one [:'(] [:)]

Well maybe it's only half-pilot since their experience average 35 [:D]

No. They press captuered US Pilots into their service.
