I'll have to ask CapnScurvy if the airplanes' pilots have a Friend / Foe ID function in their AI for US subs

Yes, expect the friendly AI to target you from time to time. There's a parameter for what percentage of an AirStrike will involve friendly fire.
The outside "Free Camera" is great to work with when you use the "Pause" key to stop the action. I've used it after firing a Deck Gun shell at a target. I'll pass by the shell in mid-flight, set myself on the target ships deck, then un pause the action. The shell sound of incoming fire is very realistic!
For planes, it helps to know where to look. Follow the plane to a position where you think you have its bearing on the Nav Map. Go to Free Camera then Pause the action. Look in the general area of the planes relative bearing to the sub. If the plane is not visible...try the Zoom feature. You may try to "move" into the general area of the plane to see if you can find it. Their small and hard to find but the closer the plane gets, the better the chance of finding it in mid-air.
I'm not sure if the Next/Previous Unit keys will show a plane......they will when its a ship.
