Mark, this may be a bit lengthy, so let me apologize in advance.  My sources on this are many, but most of the information will come from various Jane’s books and a great series on WWII aircraft from 1970 that I found in a used bookstore and from the web. 

As I noted on the board, Norm once posted that the work on the air units was only slightly better than that done on the naval units.  While this was an exaggeration (the naval part of the game stinks), there is still many corrections needed on the air units.  I won't go into rants on the numbers (i.e. anti-air str, etc..) but more so on the game stated release dates and some on the quantities/dates used in your scenario.  I understand the limitations the game imposes on you so use this information at your discretion.  TOAW is a great game, but unfortunately, the focus is more on the land than the air and even less on the naval.  However, the air can still play a big part in the battles.

I'll start with the Axis planes (since they are the easiest ;) ).

First I'll compare game release dates to actual then look at any "stand out" air units in your game.  I'll not go into unit designations, you've done a great job here.

(note: before I start the air dissertation J , I noticed that your have a temperate/warm/hot zones.  Why wasn't a cold or, at least, cool zone used for zone 1?...just curious).

…back to the fun. 

I also tried to give exact start (month) and end dates for the planes when possible.

Note: Red indicates errors in yours or Norm’s data. Your call as to whether or not to do anything about it.

Production Issues:

The following planes either saw NO action, little action or had production numbers so low that there inclusion in this game is not necessary:

He-177, over 1,000 were built but this plane never saw action. You have 120 allotted.

He-219, less than 300 built. You have 36 allotted.

He-162, was almost the German version of a kamikaze airplane (the Germans being much saner than the Japanese.) Less than 300 produced, you have almost 200 allotted.

If you keep the Jet Group, then there should be MORE of these planes and fewer 163s.

Ta-152, Kurt Tanks awesome baby. Rebuilt FW 190-Dora designed to beat the P-51 and Spit XIV’s. Little over 200 built but few, if any, saw action. You have 24 allotted.

Ba 65, little over 200 built, you have 28 allotted. Saw little or no action.

Ba 88, less than 150 built, you have 28 allotted. Saw little or no action.

P108, little over 150 built. You have 24 allotted. Saw little or no action.

Individual Unit Notes:

Other Notes:

In September, 1939 the Luftwaffe had a front line strength of 1,200 fighters.

The following is a lot of info on the Italian AF, use it as you see fit:

Here is a nice breakdown of the Finish AF at the start of hostilities.

The following is some plane info with pertinent information highlighted in blue.

(Germany)
The Bf 109 was the Luftwaffe's standard fighter throughout WWII, and the production of the Bf 109 was larger than that of any other fighter. It was a quite revolutionary design, the smallest aircraft that could be built around a powerful engine. Advantages were good performance and handling, and a simple construction; disadvantages were restricted vision, bad landing characteristics, and the inability to carry heavy armament without adverse affects on handling. The E was one of the best fighters in the world, on a par with the Spitfire; the F was a fine fighter with limited armament; the G suffered from detoriated handling. The K was the last series-produced model. Some extreme developments, elongated, with longer wings and Jumo engines, never reached service. Projects to replace the 109 all failed. Approx 35000 built. Czechoslovakaia and Spain continued production of developments after WWII.

(Germany)
'Stuka' or 'Sturzkampfflugzeug' was the general German terminology for dive-bombers, but the Ju 87 with its inverted gull wing, and fixed-undercarriage was the most famous and feared of all. The Ju 87 was ugly, sturdy, accurate, but very vulnerable to enemy fighters; its use demanded air superiority. But its effectiviness in destroying fortifications or ships, or just scaring people, was undoubted. On the eastern front the last Ju 87 versions were employed as anti-tank aircraft with underwing 37mm guns. Over 5700 built.

(Germany)
Medium bomber, also used in small numbers as civilian transport. The early versions of the He 111 -- with a stepped cockpit -- flew in the Spanish civil war. During WWII the later developments of the He 111 with an unstepped, assymetric, extensivily glazed nose were used. The He 111 was a good medium bomber, but suffered severely from the Luftwaffe's lack of long-range escort fighters, and was kept in production long after it should have been replaced. Production ceased in 1944 after more than 7300 aircraft. Postwar Spain built He 111's with R.R. Merlin engines as the CASA 2.111.

(Germany)
The Ju 88 was one of the most versatile aircraft of WWII. It began its career as a fast (dive-)bomber and reconnaissance aircraft, and later was used also as torpedo-bomber, nightfighter, heavy day fighter and anti-tank aircraft. The first fighter conversions of the Ju 88 were very similar to the bomber versions, with only modifications to the nose and a gondola under the forward fuselage to accomodate radar and guns; the later Ju 88G was a specialized fighter with the tail of the Ju 188. The aircraft remained a formidable opponent throughout WWII. 10774 built, of which no less than 104 prototypes and experimental versions.

(Germany)
The Bf 110 was a heavy twin-engined fighter, designed for fighter-bomber, bomber-interceptor, and escort fighter missions. Its use as escort fighter during the Battle of Britain was disastrous, because the Bf 110 was too vulnerable in a dogfight with single-engined fighters. Hence the Bf 110 acquired a poor reputation. But it had a good record as interceptor, fighter-bomber and especially as nightfighter. 6100 built.

(Germany)
The Do 217 medium bomber was new design, only superficially similar to the Do 17. It was a much more capable bomber, but the original dive-bombing requirement had to be dropped. The Do 217J and N were night intruder or nightfighter versions, but the Do 217 was not very suitable for the fighter role. Late models had a fully glazed, unstepped nose, and were equipped with guided bombs. 1750 built.

(Germany)
The small Fw 190 was one of the greatest fighters of WWII. Designed by Dr. Kurt Tank, the Fw 190 was built as a sturdy all-round fighter, rather than a lightweight interceptor; but the early Fw 190A's nevertheless proved clearly superior to the Spitfire Mk.V. The Fw 190 was a better fighter than the Bf 109, except at high altitude. The radial-engine Fw 190 was also succesfully developed into a series of fighter-bombers. The Fw 190D-series used a liquid-cooled Junkers engine instead of the radial BMW, and had increased span and length. The Fw 190D (late) was a very good high-altitude interceptor, equal to the P-51D or Spitfire XIV and without the altitude limitations of the Fw 190A. It was the stepping-stone to the Ta 152. Total Fw 190 production was 20001.

(Germany)
The He 177 was the only series built German heavy bomber of WWII, and a dismal failure. The requirement that it would be able to act as a dive-bomber, and the insistence on using two DB 606 engines -- units consisting of two joined DB601 engines -- were responsible for this failure of an otherwise advanced design. The He 177 was overweight, had structural weaknesses and frequently suffered from engine fires. 1094 built, but most were never used in combat.

(Germany)
The He 219 was a fast twin-engined aircraft, designed to be build in heavy fighter, fighter-bomber and nighfighter versions. Especially the nightfighter was a succes, although it was a bit underpowered and not fast enough to effectively intercept the British Mosquito bomber. The He 219 was doomed by political decisions, including insistence that Heinkel should concentrate on the construction of bombers. Only 294 were built. The He 219 was the first production aircraft with ejection seats; the cockpit design was one of its highly praised features.

(Germany)
The Me 410 was a development of the miserable Me 210, fitted with the longer tail and automatic wing slots that were adopted for the latter to cure its stability problems, and some more modifications. The Me 410 was indeed better than the Me 210, but it still couldn't be considered a success. It was used mainly as fast bomber and fighter-bomber. Many armament options were tried out, including 210mm rockets and a 50mm gun. 1160 were built.

(Germany)
The Ar 234 was the world's first jet bomber. It was a fairly orthodox, but very clean, high-wing design with a fully glazed nose. The prototypes and A-series aircraft used a trolley for take-off and had ski landing gear, but later aircraft had a wheeled undercarriage. Because of its high speed, the Ar 234 was the only German aircraft that could fly reconnaissance or bombing missions in 1945. A few were converted to nightfighters. Despite its high speed, most of the B-version aircraft had fixed, backward-firing 20mm cannon in the tail.The experimental Ar 234C had four engines. The Ar 234 was a very effective aircraft, but too late to have a large impact on the war. 274 built.
