Now there's a lot of work, M8! A big battle scene! Very dynamic, C9! :)
A few thoughts for your consideration from a purely "image" point of view:
1) Notice how the composition is heavy in the upper left corner while the center and bottom of the image are empty except for sky. Cropping the bottom some might make the image more balanced and focused.
2) The aircraft in the upper left are very close to the borders of the image. You might consider allowing more "breathing" room and see how that feels to you.
3) Large areas of clouds which are pure white, without any detail, tend to flatten the image. You might consider trying to preserve or even to create cloud detail to preserve more three dimensionality.
4) When using multiples of the same kind of plane, as with the bombers, an effective trick is to rotate the props into different positions from plane to plane. That's really easy to do and I think you'll like the overall effect if you choose to give it a try.
My personal philosophy is that "less is more". Generally, the fewer subjects the greater the potential impact of the image. That ain't a rule, just my philosophy. Each must go his own way. ;)
She's a dramatic battle scene, M8! Very exciting! Hope to see more of your work soon! :)
Cheers,
Don
