What is the difference between Tactial and Strategic Air Day? For example when setting all none in the Strategic Air Day, will the Tactical Air Force have more planes for doing its operations?

Not sure what you mean by "Tactical and Strategic Air Day". Are you talking about the Tactical Air Force and the Strategic Air Forces in the 1943 scenarios? Are you looking at the Air Doctines screen, or something else?

Yes, I am talking about the Tactical Air Force and the Strategic Air Forces in the 1943 scenarios especially when looking at the Air Doctrine screen. I am a WitE player and new to this air system and i wonder if both are independent groups.

OK, got it. I played WitE years ago, but there was very little to the air game compared to WitW.
Some of the many important differences
1. Air groups are assigned to air headquarters (AHQ's)
2. You create Air Directives for each AHQ. The number of active Air Directives will depend on the Air and Admin ratings of the commander of each AHQ
3. Only air groups assigned to a particular AHQ can be assigned to or fly in one of its Air Directives
4. You can reassign most air groups from one AHQ to another (Naval-only air groups aren't supposed to be reassignable but there's a workaround)
5. You can give control of the air war to the AI or you can manage it at various levels of complexity:
- which air groups to which directives
- how many days of the week each air directive flies
- day or night?
- Friendly or Enemy air turn or both?
- loadout by each air group
- altitude
- up to four waypoints on the path to the target to avoid flak (like Bombing the Reich)
- and more that don't come to mind immediately
So the answer to your original question is in #3 above.

That helped a lot. Thank you!
