I am thinking of doing another test, but putting my submarine in the middle of where all the planes fly over all of the ships, and see what happens... But I do have a rough draft of a mission re-do worked-up, and might finish by the end of the week. Part of the problem is the way the groups changed their configurations enroute, so I might take the easy way out, and just make them with their final constitutions, and not worry too much about it... but there are still a LOT of ships that can generate a LOT LOT LOT of airplanes, all in a concentrated area... sort of like one of lurker's Atlantic convoys, only times 2 for the ships, and times 10 for the planes...
