Background:
In a fictional campaign during WW2 allied forces have recently established small bases on Guam and Rota. A detachment of RAF and USAF fighters are tasked with supporting offensive operations towards Tinian and Saipan islands in the north. US and Japanese naval forces are maneuvering around the Mariana islands and a major naval engagement has just started with raids from carrier based aircraft.
Situation:
US light bombers (A20) are attacking a site where the enemy is trying to re-establish a EW-radar on the south tip of Tinian. Escort the bombers, and provide light attack (strafing/rockets) to suppress enemy AAA in the area. Stay away from the heavy AAA at Tinian airbase.
Take off and climb to 6,000 feet, rendezvous west of Rota in grid BO.
