1) For Great Britain in the Med - what should I purchase for:
a) Carrier based fighters
b) Carrier based dive bombers
c) Carrier based torpedo launching aircraft
d) Carrier based fighter-bombers

2) What were the most commonly used maritime strike bombers, dive bombers and
torpedo launch aircraft for GERMAN forces?

3) What were the most commonly used maritime strike bombers, dive bombers and
torpedo launch aircraft for ITALIAN forces?

Thanks very much,

Mike
