Historical notes:All RAF and RAAF Squadrons are historically correct, except "None" replacing missing No.230 Squadron RAF. Regia Aeronautica bomber squadrons are correct, but other actual RA squadrons are not available and are therefore replaced by random squadrons.
All aircraft types are correct, subtypes may vary. Wellington III is used to replace missing Wellington I. Airfields are mostly historical.
No.3 Squadron RAAF was equipped with a mix of Gladiator I and II's with a flight of Gauntlets and was the only Commonwealth squadron that used Gauntlets during WW2 as frontline fighters. No.208 Squadron RAF was mostly equipped with Lysander I and II's, but they had a few Hurricanes for reconnaissance duties while the Lysanders carried out mainly artillery support duties. No.216 Squadron RAF had a double duty: it used its Bombays in transport missions and in night bombing missions. Regia Aeronautica fighter squadrons that actually were from 8º Gruppo Caccia terrestre and 10º Gruppo Caccia terrestre were equipped with a mix of CR.32's and CR.42's. CANT Z.501 seaplanes were ship-based belonging to 143ª Squadriglia ricognizione marittima.
