No need for that,
there isn't a particular mission, there's like 5. I've resolved it by timing the F4U's and TBF/SBD's speed, and starting points so either the F4Us fly ahead of the strike, or catch up with it just in time.
If you want to test this, just open FMB, Have a Flight of Bombers attacking a target. Set up a rendevous with fighters. Have the Fighters escort the bombers at the Rendevous. At the next waypoint have the flighters set to ground attack.
What you will see is the fighters ignore the ground attack and stick to escorting the bombers the whole mission through.
I think its an IL-2 Fluke, I spent a week trying to get around it.
If you still want to see a mission as an example you can download the VMF-213 4/25/43 Mission thats in the Single Mission Download section. You will need to open this mission in FMB and change the player flight to escort a flight of TBF's or SBD's at the rendesvous over Savo Island.
You will see the effects I'm talking about when the Bombers "Find Vila too Cloudy" and turn back for home, and as your F4U's change thier flight plan, and instead of breaking away and strafing Vanga Vanga at Kolombangara, (as instructed) they will make the U-turn with the strike force and head home.
