different people managed to complete this different ways but the way i did it is...
put your guys on attack formation be4 the cut scene at begiining. then after the cut scene use the attack ability. fire all your rockets at the planes taking off at long range and by the time you get to the airfield you should be reloading. destroy al the AA you can in one pass and if there is more than three planes going towards the bombers quickly take them down. turn back and deal with the other planes taking off and continue taking out AA. after the bombers have made their ruin destroy the rest of the AA and buildings.

i think harry is talking about some different level. the level that medusa is talking about is opening wave of midway or something... where you take off and you have to protect the landing strip by destroying all the bomber planes in the air. i'm stuck at this level too. Any tips on this level???? i've managed to destroy up to 2 or 3 waves.. and that's it... any help will be appreciated. thanks

give ur guys the attack command and tell frank to use his special whenever it is charged

for jkim u should do what I said above and u mights have to head to the next wave when theres only one or two planes left
leave those to ur squad

what i done was be fore the cut scene i fire 2 rockets at the first aa i could see. then went straight for the spawn planes fired the rest of my rockets and useing my guns i was able to gun another plane down.
i turnned as quick as i could towards were the spawn planes would be and fired more rockets and was able to take anothere aa out then went after some fighters but had to turn quick to go back to were the planes spawn and fire all rockets at them best way for me was just to attack the spawn planes and go after fighters back to spawn dont worry much about the aa if u can take a shot at the aa fire one or two rockets save them for the spawn planes
once you reach the check point it easy

I'll come in at top speed, and just before the cut scene give the squadron the Attack command, while sending off a couple of rockets. What I have noticed is that after the cut scene, I am always in the same place, no matter where I was before the cut. My wingmen are already over the field, but I am several thousand feet (virtual gaming scale) away from the runway, and out of range for my guns, and any rocket hits are pure luck.
When I play this mission online, there is just a voice over in place of the cut scene, and I am at the end of the runway talking out planes with guns and rockets by the time it ends.
I am getting close, except for the times that AA takes me out 35 seconds into the mission. I just wish it would restart after the cut scene. I don't know how many times I can hear, "Wot's the naime of this place wur goin; to?"
