Yep.

Man, you're quicker than lightning with answering so many posts.

Oh BTW, did you notice that I mentioned that placing an upgrade on a squadron, upgraded it, completely to ready status by mere virtue of a save inbetween (I actually exited the program and came back to it later, and, voila)!

You said Tojo ... there is only one group of these babies so i just figured you were confused. They are experimental aircraft and do not deploy to normal groups. You'll see them at Canton.

For those that don't want to read the manual:

Escort = Planes that fly along with Bombers to protect them. No Bombers fly, no Escort flies.

Sweep = Planes that fly to a target and attempt to engage CAP at the target. Low Altitudes will result in strafing of the runway.

CAP = Planes that fly over their own base to protect it. They can wander into hexes beside their base if not busy.

LR-CAP = Identical to CAP, but fly over a specific destination instead of their own base.

Add a little complication to this:

Aircraft that are not ordered to do something else will join the CAP if the base is attacked, but they rely on early warning (radar/sound detection) to take off and climb to intercept the attackers.

Frag is on reader patrol again.

Ummm, not exactly. It is precisely a Tojo. A Ki-44-IIb. The game says it's not available until 8/42. The game also still shows it still in R/D.

Ah so, so you're saying it wasn't originally a Nate. I'm glad to hear it wasn't some indication that I had a bad DL or something.
