It's in the section Air Indicators.

Thanks. I'd seen that one, but it doesn't apply to combat report.

This particular asterisk means the bombers are flying with a reduced (long-range) bombload. Either they are at extended range or they are flying from a base that is not large enough to accomodate that model of bomber.

Unfortunately, that link doesn't cover the combat report.
