In my modified Scenario #16 game v1.21 I just split the 23rd FG in Calcutta on 4 Jan 42 into its three squadrons. A squadron was commanded by the original group commander but B and C squadrons had a couple of 1st Lieutenants promoted to Major to command them. Their names were Heath, D. and Grigsby, G. A coincidence? I don't think so.

Yep, they are in there ... You'll probably find some others too.

I was hoping for a 'Wild Bill' Kelso to be flying in one of the west coast P-40 squadrons. Robert Stack should be commanding the III Corps as well.
