Hello, Dave
Good questions you have.
1) A Japanese base on Ulithi saw several strikes by US carriers in WW2 and become a US base for the remainder of the war. Someone should create this map eventually, in my opinion, if no one has started it.
2) It would be a good idea to include something close enough to be practical. You'll have to do the calulating to discover flying time around your map and see if it is a good choice. Both Guam and Palau saw much action.
3) Many map makers use something less than 1:1. I have read about 80%, 3/4, and 1/2 scale maps. This again is a matter of calculating flight times. A flight time of 30 minutes to target is about the limit that most people will accept in missions, according to IL-2 community polls.
I hope that this helps.
