You only get four pilots to work with, and some may get shot down behind enemy lines or need repairs. On this screen, you can see I have three pilots available with Tom Rickenbacker (lower left) out for repairs.
The arrows on the ground are all the possible moves that one plane can accomplish in a turn. The green arrows indicate that I'll be able to hit an enemy plane, while the blue arrows (only one in the screenshot) indicate movement with no attack.
