In Capture the island mode, the navy version of capture the flag, the object is to capture various islands on the map, certain islands have either airbases, or navy bases, navy bases that provide different types of ships/planes. or different resources of navy supplies, which can include stronger armour, for a period of time, better manuvering, autoreloading, and others i cant remember.

Capturing islands is done by paratoops, or landing troops from an lst or landing ship or for a longer period being say a destroyer in close to the base, blowing it up and neutralizing it and then taking it over. So its tactical and strategy involved in keeping and maintaining the island as for the resouces its brings to yourself or your team.

Bombers and c47 skytrains can be set to once load is dropped they have to return to base to load up again, or they can load in the air over a period of time, but if in the air they still have to be protected. So its all a crap shoot no matter which way you do it.
