Two Air War Questions From A Beginner

[SVanders0]

I have two questions about the Air game that I couldn't find answers to by searching the forums and guides:

- Combat between Air Zones. When my division is attacking from a province in the "Egypt" Air Zone into a province in the "Northern Africa" Air Zone, where should I place my CAS to get the combat bonus? Where do I place my fighters to give them air cover?

- Fighter cover in Naval Combat. Can my land-based fighters engage in Naval combat against Naval Bombers when the Naval combat takes place in their air zone? I find my Fleet under attack from large quantities (100+) of Naval Bombers, in air zones where I have (1000+) Fighters, but only my (9) carrier based fighters participate in the combat. Am I doing something wrong?

Combat always occurs in the defender's province.

Fighters will need to be on an intercept mission, not air superiority to engage bombers.

While we're on the topic of air combat - do I get penalised if I put my fighters on intercept and air superiority missions? Will intercept only target bombers and air superiority only target other fighters or is it a case of what my fighters prioritise?
