Status: offline 		When I look at changing the officers in charge of a US Army HQ's I see that all US Army HQ's have the same pool of officers to choose from. Whether they be air, corps, army or cmd HQ's. The pool at the start of the game is also very small, half a dozen officers.

Does this pool grow over time? Or are these all the officers I have to choose from for the game?

If you scroll through the leaders database in the editor for the scenario you are playing you can spot the ones that arrive during the war.
Some starting leaders with poor stats are worth replacing.

Status: offline 		I didn't pay much attention to Air HQ leaders either, but eventually it just seemed that US Air units were performing poorly in the India/Burma theatre. BGEN Carlson was the leader on arrival, and if you just look at his stats on the unit screen, they seem OK, pretty good even (top image). But when I clicked on his name, that's when the "Air Skill" showed up.......

Yeah, historically it arrived under the command of Brereton. At least he's a selectable option.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now I have something else to check.

Seriously, good info, thanks.

That officers problem is that he does not know where to put the bayonet on the aircraft.

The bayonet goes on the nose, for ramming attacks.

Thanks, I did not know that.
But even for single engine aircraft?

Would it be better to attach sabers to the props so you really could slice your enemy up? That would truly be Air Cavalry!
