Never could understand why air units don't have these abilities. I've had to resort to creating explicit 'detachment' air units and using 'disband/withdraw unit' events to simulate this all too common behavior - I'd prefer if the player had more control.

FitE has the air units broken out by Squadrons. Could we do it that way?

..like more airfields to cope with the arbitary 3 air-unit limit ?..

Well, there are three concerns here;

a) for flexibility, have air units as small as possible
b) to keep a historical OOB whilst separating types, have units as small as possible
c) for simplicity and easy of play, have as few units as possible.

So there's no right answer. However, if you've got a 250 hex front and fighter units with a range of 25, it stands to reason that you'd want to have at least a dozen of them to ensure good cover.
