Is it possible to create an entirely new air unit when planes and pilots are available?

No, you get what you get. Look back on the forum for some discussion about this whole topic.

Okay, I asked because I transferred an understrength dive bomber unit somwehere in China to a base containing another unit of the same plane. The game consolidated the units, which didn't bother me too much... Until I realized I was now one unit shorter.

The disbanded unit was probably placed into the build list for future redeploy. If you recall the name, check your a/c replacements schedule.
