Apart from a Night Personnel, you also need a Night Fighter to enable night aerial attack.

There are only two more aircraft aside from Night Fighter and Night Attacker (TBM-3D) that can help with night aerial attack; Swordfish variants and Zero M62 F/B Iwai Squadron.

So as long as you don't have a Night Fighter, you cannot do night aerial attack...

...though I don't know if you can still attack with night aerial attack damage formula without Night Fighter since it is listed that Night Personnel changes the usual firepower + torpedo damage formula into night aerial attack damage formula...
