Status: offline 		I know i know the answer to this question but im hitting a blank. Do undamaged aircraft fly to the nearest friendly base within range or are they simply classed as 'destroyed on the ground' once a base falls?

thanks

is that true of stock and modded games, eg CHS, or just stock?

I thought the only units lost to ground combat that respawned were headquarters and Chinese infantry units? I thought air units overrun were lost forever.

Air units destroyed on the ground come back in 12 months. If lost at sea they are supposed to come back in 270 days but it is more like 30.

edit: manual page 134 (7.2.2.22) says they will return in 390 days. In my PBEM they came back faster

The Allied player in one of my PBEM's must have decided we needed to test this yesterday, because he took advantage of a mistake on my part and overran an airfield holding several daitai of my bombers lined up in neat little rows. When I checked on the following turn the units were set to return in 389 days, so it looks as though the manual might actually be correct.
