Which means that one can move an air unit in "non-rail" normally? Operational range or double?

Every unit has "movement point" and that is the range it can move. However, movement points and attack range can differ meaning we can have units that move further than they attack, approaching the x2 range you mentioned.

Very good. Then my opinion is that things are fine as they stand now if you let bombers stay out of mountains, swamps and the like.

A couple of notes about airfield construction - there's quite a lot on Google about the topic.

teh variety ranges from teh 1st US bomber base built in hte UK, which took from July 42 to april 43 to complete - having felled 23 acres of mature oaks and built 3 long runways - up to 6300 feet, to B-91 - an airfield built for the Brits "in a few days" near Njimegan in 1944 that housed 7 tempest and Typhoon squadrons of 2 TAF and the Meteor detatchment that went to teh continent at the end of 44.

there's lsits of airfield construction squadrons - over 30 British ones totalling maybe 30,000 men by th end of the war, notes that maybe 25% of all construction activity in te UK was on building airfields in 43-44 (over 600 were built), etc.

It was a very big business.

As always the decision will be made in the east.

The German air units will need to keep up with the advance to obtain ultimate victory!
