In a single mission fly an escort mission but make the formation size large.

In the 1.28 version there should be a "ExtraSquads" line in the "eaw.ini" file.

This setting gives a large number of bombers to escort:

ExtraSquads=16
The "eaw.ini" file is a text file that can be edited with notepad.

The maximum is 12 because there is a limit to the number of planes you can set for a single mission on the parameters screen and this is 12. This applies to fighters too smile
