Several ace pilots on the same air wing. [Barbarossa v1.11.1.f6bd (bf90)]

Game Version
Steam

Enabled DLC

No

Description
Ace pilots can be generated on air wings that have an ace pilot assigned to them already. If this were to happen, they will be attached to that air wing and will not be visible outside of the ace pilot assignement menu. They can't be removed manually unless they are assigned to another air wing to make them visible first. I'm not sure if the ace bonuses apply in this state. Upon loading a save in which these invisible aces are attached to an air wing they are removed and moved back into the unassigned ace pilot pool.

Steps to Reproduce
I have completed the "Foster Flying Clubs" focus and I'm on "Operational Integrity" air doctrine, which is unlocked until "Inflitrational Bombing" without "Carousel Bombing". I have made fighters and CAS air wings, each have 200 planes in them. They are engaging the Axis air force over Poland, Romania and the Baltics.

I believe I'm encountering the same type of behavior: when I generate an ace pilot, they can't be reassigned. Clicking the little spade allows me to open up the window to assign a pilot, and in that window I can see that they're assigned, but they don't have a combat modifier or a "face" on the air wing; it still just shows the spade.

Edit: I'm on the latest patch (Barbarossa 1.11.4). I've included a save.

Edit 2: I can also see the behavior OP describes where reloading the game causes the ace to become "unassigned" and they can then be assigned normally.

I'm gonna bump this as it still is a major issue in Barbarossa 1.11.12. Hopefully it gets addressed in by blood alone.
