then its under misc units titled strike element i believe

cargo aircraft (paradrops) and gliders are also available under misc units, and can be purchased without having air formations assigned (or in addition to the limit)

hope this helps (got me at first too) :)

Status: offline 		For strike aircraft yes, it must be daylight AND clear weather but paradrops and gliders can be purchased for nighttime missions as long as the weather is good.

Actually, what better time to drop paras and gliders than in the dark when visibility is limited.:D

In one recent game I dropped a bunch of paras behind enemy lines at night and he never spotted them at all. They sat just near his VHs in the rear until I saw him pull troops to the front. Gave him a few turns to get well away and then completely overwhelmed all his remaining defending forces in one turn, with zero losses on my side.

PS: Yes this has happened to me a few times. I've changed tact with aircraft now.
