Every air force is more than an emblem. It is aircraft on strength, crews ready for duty, research paths, production pressure, and losses that cannot be wished away.

Battle of Britain · 10 July 1940
Two commands. Two different problems.
The figures below are the game’s campaign-start ledger: aircraft on strength, crews and pilots present, and research nodes represented. Historical gaps and modelled estimates remain identified inside the game.

Read the warning network, preserve Fighter Command, and decide which raids must be met. The defensive system is powerful only while its sectors, airfields, aircraft, and people still connect.
Build pressure across the Channel, coordinate unlike aircraft and mission types, and turn strength on paper into sustainable operations across distance, weather, and opposition.

What these numbers mean. Aircraft and aircrew totals are the opening order-of-battle values represented by the current 10 July 1940 campaign dataset—not claims about every aircraft or person historically available to either nation. Research counts are playable nodes in the current launch-side trees.
The wider air war
Eight commands on the horizon.
These air forces are represented by approved project emblems and are planned for future expansion. Campaigns, aircraft totals, crew ledgers, and research trees are not announced yet.

Inside the command system
Aircraft are only the beginning.
See how research, production, serviceability, crews, missions, and replacement turn a collection of aircraft into operational air power.
