SgtSwanson, Am I correct in assuming you're playing scenario 13? (only scenario I found where you could fly Liberators against Port Blair on the first couple of turns). I hadn't played that scenario before your question, but I ran a couple of first and second turns and the weather seems to be pretty bad in that scenario. Look out for messages that say "mission to Port Blair cancelled due to weather" - they flash by in small print on the screen fairly quickly and can be easy to miss, but were the reason the planes didn't fly for me most of the time. Otherwise, the only thing I tried that also stopped them from flying was setting the altitude too low. You mentioned that you were under the 10,000' ceiling, but not how far under. They were happy to fly for me (when not socked in) at 5,000-6,000', but refused to go in really low, so you may want to check your alt. setting if it isn't the weather. Those two groups of Libs you have also don't start with terrific leaders, so they may have failed some checks for you that other leaders might be more likely to pass. Hope some of this helps - the "why didn't my planes fly" question is sometimes not the easiest one to answer correctly since so much can go wrong.
