In 'Guadalcanal' American units are encouraged to spray seemingly empty hexes with DF to reveal hidden units and aircraft are DF units. I suppose that it is left up to player discretion or interpretation though if nowhere it states absolutely that units can or cannot do this or that. The same would go for digging-in jungle hexes which are not woods and have different combat modifiers than woods; the rulebook only cites woods, towns and entrenchments are prohibited.
See the jungle rules post I just put in.
Personally, from a Soldier's perspective, I never understood that AP rule for no digging in town or wood, other than perhaps play balance; but in reality, with enough time, a Soldier can improve any terrain feature- it might take longer in woods (i.e. and extra turn, etc. assuming digging through roots, etc.). Swamps might be the exception...
