Devices have their supply cost (load cost in Tracker). When you take a replacement device you pay its supply cost.

However, aircraft are not devices.

Manual p.255, says you expend supplies when you take aircraft replacements.

So, what is the supply cost per aircraft? Is it based on aircraft durability? Is it based on aircraft type perhaps?

The supply cost for each replacement air frame depends on the type of air frame:

12 supply points for fighter, fighter bomber
15 supply points for dive bomber, torpedo bomber, float plane, float fighter
18 supply points for night fighter, recon
30 supply points for heavy bomber, medium bomber, light bomber, attack bomber, transport, patrol.

Where the cost is incurred depends on which of the conditions was satisfied to allow planes to be added.
If supplies are short in the groups own base, but planes were added due to a well-supplied base with an HQ,
then the base with the HQ will lose supplies.

Restrictions on the ability to take replacement planes:

Maximum 12 planes per unit
A unit can only take replacements once every 7 days
Enough planes in the pool

One of the following conditions must also apply, note that an airfield must have less than 59% service or runway damage to be eligible.

The unit is at an airfield with more than 20,000 supplies (No airfield is needed for floatplanes)
The HQ of the unit is within transfer range and at an airfield with more than 20,000 supplies
The Command HQ of the unit is within transfer range and at an airfield with more than 20,000 supplies.

The unit is within twice the transfer range of its HQ or Command HQ and the HQs base has twice its
supplied required + the supply cost of the planes and there are 10 + (plane build rate/2) planes in the pool.
Then a sub-unit is created at the HQs base.

Units on ships have 2 ways to get replacements
The ship is in a friendly hex with an airfield and 20,000 supplies
A replenishment unit is within normal range of the ship and has sufficient planes.
They also have the added restriction that the ship may not have more than 50 flooding or systems damage.
