in the descriptions of the air groups some quantities appear normal, others greyed out.
Any indication of the meaning of these stars and grey text would be welcome.

while no star means it must be disbanded. Note that from what I have seen you can still withdraw the no star groups if their removal date is far enough away
from their withdrawal return date.

Status: offline 		For LCUs, I believe the star denotes a unit that is part of a larger unit. Click on the "Unit Composition" in the lower left of the unit screen to see what it combines with. You need to get all parts of the larger unit in the same hex, with the same HQ and with the same devices in each of the weapon slots before they will combine. After combining, division sized units can be divided again into A/B/C units that can then take replacements more rapidly than the whole unit.

Greyed out text usually denotes a device that is no longer being produced or not yet being produced.

Status: offline 		I took a quick look at the Allied air units coming in and the ones with a star appeared to come in at a base that does not belong to their HQ nor their higher HQ. Noting definitive because there was no picture to reference.

"Unit Organisation"

Although it's misspelt in the game screens.

The greyed out airframe numbers may mean that those groups are "replacements delayed". If you mouse over those words in the group screen, a pop up text box indicates the time in days before they can take more replacements.

See pages 255-256 of the manual- A maximum of 12 planes will be added to a group as replacements every 7 days.
