enginers

They are engineers they have explosives, a few trees won't bother them 

The toothpick industry sure would thrive

not a bad idea however the runways would be grass, un-level, might have to watch out for trees on take off or landing, safe landing would only be in a hanger,
would restrict to fighters and 2 engine bombers, no formations allowed, only gv would be m8, m16, m3, jeeps and maybe a wirble, bombs should be restricted to 500lbs or less, no drop tanks, no rearm pads, no external gun packages, fuel restriction 50%, remember all supplies have to be flown in.
To Build a base will require 6 c47, plus and additional 3 with supplies (airfield)
For every 10 planes or gv's that launch from the field and additional c47 with supplies will have to be delivered. The initial build, using the above 9 C47 will provide enough support for 20 planes or gv's, each additional c47 will support another 10 of either planes or gv or a mixed amount. no supplies than no one can fly.

Pretty well thought out, good one. I would only change the bit with the trees-- there's a runway, but trees within say, 15 feet of it.

I think 9 c47s would be a bit much no less than 3 no more than 6 and take out the gv capability. The original idea is for a light airfield lightly defended by auto acks and a couple of maned guns. All the other improvements to my original idea are greatly appreciated.

 have the airfields similar to the ones used in WW1 arena.
