The Flying Dutchman

If a nation is liberated and aircraft are flying through the provinces, and if there is no airport in that nation, the aircraft will forever be locked in the production/strategic deployment queue.

Suggest that aircraft be made immune from localization and be allowed to land at any friendly airport.

That is something I've never had happen. What HOI2 version do you play?

Could you edit the save game file to include an airbase somewhere in the liberated country? Then maybe you could deploy the air unit.

What I did was to build an airport in a nearby province (fortunately HoI lets you build in controlled provinces) and once I annexed it traded it to the liberated nation. My planes were then able to land in my puppet's new airport.

So, for many game months my strategic bombers floated on their gossamer wings supported by party balloons in never never land.

I suppose it makes as much sense as being able to (in Victoria) toss injured ships across the world but only to their 'home' port but uninjured ships can't do the same thing.
