How can I determine the range of air patrols from their base?

Dear Kaleuns,
What the title says, but I assume there are differences depending on the date and what aircraft, but what is a safe radius for a circle to draw on the map with centre on an airfield?

Thanks,
promitheas

Click on an airbase on the nav map.

Then you will see a small red airplane mark in the upper left hand from the airbase. You may need to click on the airbase a few times to see this little mark.

Then grab your compass, draw a circle from the base to the little red mark and you have your range circle!

In my game, this circle appears automatically when I zoom out enough the map and simply hower over the airbase with my mouse, but in TWoS and RN which I don't always play it is different of course.
You should be able to get the list of planes present in bases if you click on it, and if the ID-Book has no data about planes, especially their range, the Museum (main menu) for sure has.

So 300km is the most common range from the link. Does that change at all throughout the war or remain constant?

Thanks again,
