How many spaces can defending aircraft retreat?
Defending aircraft have to retreat to an adjacent territory, just like defending land units. If there are NO friendly adjacent territories, retreating defending aircraft can fly to the CLOSEST friendly territory within their flight range. If there are no friendly territories within the normal flight range (4 for fighters, 6 for bombers) then these defending aircraft cannot retreat.
