If you use the right click->auto add aircraft option on an airbase that has some planes based there already and has 20 or fewer empty spaces, it often creates one dive bomber squadron with as many aircraft as there are spaces.
The most common way to see this is to create a base and auto assign aircraft (giving 4 PB/8 F/8 TB or MB), then expand the base and auto assign again (adding a new squadron of 20 DB). But you can reproduce it by loading a game with dive bombers researched, emptying out a size 20 airbase, creating one 4 plane squadron, and then using auto assign.
You can also reproduce the same behavior by starting a 1920 game as Britain, creating a 4 plane squadron in the starting airbase, and then clicking auto assign - it'll create a squadron of 16 torpedo bombers.
I think this is also the cause of huge waves of AI dive bombers, when the AI builds a 120 plane airbase it fills with 4 PB/8 F/8 TB or MB and then 5x 20 DB squadrons. See this post for an example.
