This sounds really cool, like the new perspective for the map.

Keep in mind that you can only upgrade a minor IC if it is on your own original starting territory that is worth 3 IPCs or more (2nd edition rules).

Interesting thought on VC as the only production centers, but the game has evolved to where islands like Philippines or Hawaii aren't eligible for IC anymore (I think that is a good thing).

Dog fights would be cool, but very costly especially at full values (just think of how dog fights have cut down SBR and it uses lower values). As you said you could force air to air combat to knock out your opponents defending planes. The flying tiger was a good example, but would still get destroye...
