Early 1945 US Carrier air wing sizes

Post by SimonDC »

Its Feb 45 and my US carriers have 36 Fighters, 36 Fighter bombers, and 15 each of dive bombers and torpedo planes. Three of the 36 Hellcat fighters are listed as reserve. What should be the correct number of each type?

Thanks,
Simon

the numbers (36,36,15,15) Sound correct to me.

It happens once in a while but usually the fighters in reserve will revert back to ready status in a turn or two.

Well... unless his group size is 36, and there are 36 on ready status. Then they'll sit in reserve.

I can't remember off the top of my head when the CV VF units resize to 42, but I know it's in early '45...
