Hi the main tactical unit of the JAAF was the Koku Daitai (air battalion), consisting of two Chutai (squadron) of nine aircraft each plus three a/c of the reserve and three a/c of the Daitai HQ, making a total of 27 machines. On May 5, 1925, the size of the basic unit was increased and its name changed to Hiko Rentai (air regiment). It now comprised two, three or, usually, four Chutai grouped into two Daitai. IN 1938 the IJAAF change the name to Sentai however the IJNAF retained the Daitai title. So in WITP you have IJA in Sentai and Navy in Daitai. The Navy also retained the 3x9ac sizes. The Sentai are normally 36 AC now. (However there are many Sentai still with the older 27 ac size)
