More IJN Officer Info

[fontessa]

Hello ijnfleetadmiral,

As near as I can figure, the officers in an Air Group were as follows:
Commanding Officer
Executive Officer
Chief Engineer
Maintenance Officer
Surgeon
Paymaster
Communications Officer
Air Officer
Adjutant
Was this correct?

The list of major officers varied depending on the type of unit. For example, Ground Support unit had no Hikocho Air Officer.


The below is the main officers list. I afraid being incomplete compared to Weiyan’s list.

Hello ijnfleetadmiral,
