I am not sure why the WAs are producing SAC in 1940, let alone doing it in
Spring.
As your game shows, Air Range is an important project for the WAs.
A result can be guaranteed in 1940 but doing so might come at a cost.
But then, not achieving an Air Range 1940 can also come at a cost.
If the WAs had achieved an Air Range result, it is unlikely the Axis would
send three raider groups.

Yes, Air Range is important -- it affects the sub warfare modifier, and it affects the modifier for interception of raider groups. Should the Allies have put...

I agree that it is not typical. However, Britain will suffer in Fall and Winter 1940, precisely because the raiders may get out, and the German sub count goes...
That air range is really huge. In a recent game with Raf, as Allies he rolled a 6 in Fall 1939 and got the air range right away! That helped him a LOT! Not...
