1. I am playing the Campaign game starting with Aug 42 and here I am in LA with 140+ AKs. Which is more efficient, loading and moving an 80 ship TF or 10 TFs at 8ea or 80 TFs?
From LA to PH, your're probably fine at moving in the large TF. A lot less clicking.
The reason you would use the smaller (or individual TFs), is that the targeting routines will either ignore, or send large-ish attacks vs. the single-ship TFs. Example, escaping Manilla. A bunch of single AK TFs will more likely to be ignored, or if they are attacked, you'd get 20 bombers against a single ship (which would kill it, but it's better than 20 bombers vs. a TF of 5 ships, where you'll likely lose all of them as well).

2. What about unloading at a size 5 port using these 3 styles of TFs? I am guessing that the game mechanics will treat the separate TFs differently that if I was unloading the 1 giant TF.
Ships unload individually. 20 ships unloading in on TF, is the same as 20 ships unloading in 20 TFs. You unload at a rate of (Port Size * 100) + 400 per day (or 12 hours, can't remember) for each ship.

3. If I understand the way loading works, I cannot load three LCUs onto 2 ships even if the ships have the load capacity. I think that is what the error message is trying to tell me. Any comments?
True. A ship may only carry all or pieces of just one LCU or air unit, plus supplies.

4. Port Moresby is getting hammered from Lae. I don’t mind so much, I am winning the attrition battle. I moved up a P-39 squadron from OZ to help, resulting in two squadrons in the base. A turn or two later, the original squadron disappeared leaving just the one I transferred form OZ. Did all of the planes get shot down in the first squad, causing it to disband?
Was the original sqdn a "fragment" (meaning "24 FS/2")? If it was a fragment, it will try to rejoin the parent (the "24 FS").
