P-51D Mustang
Mustangs, which were outclassed as fighters by the Egyptian MiG-15s, were used for close air support and interdiction missions by the IAF in the 1956 Suez Crisis.
This was the first -- after the MiGs had been chased off by Israeli, French and British jet fighters -- air interdiction mission for the P-51s. Take off, form up and fly west over the Sinai searching for Egyptian Army convoys heading toward Cairo.
If you locate enemy vehicles, attack them, with rockets and your machineguns.

By 4 November 1956, Israel had captured all of Sinai except for the Egyptian artillery position at Ras Nasrani and the Egyptian Army headquarters at Sharm El Sheikh. Israel's primary objective in the conflict had been to end the Egyptian blockade of the Straits of Tiran. The artillery at Nasrani was firing at every Israel ship coming from or going to the port of Eilat. Your mission is to knock out those guns.

After the morning attack on the Egyptian division headquarters, four of the same Mosquitos returned in the early afternoon to strike the Al Arish Air Base, being used to store army supplies and equipment. Afterward, they found a static train west of Al Arish and several Egyptian Army truck convoys moving along the highway.

After Egypt nationalized he Suez Canal (and took it out of French and British control), the French, British and Israelis invaded Sinai. Israel had been blockaded from shipping to and from Asian ports and its primary goal was to end Egyptian control of the Straits of Tiran (see maps). Although most aircraft on both sides were first generation jets, Israel still used the prop-driven Mosquitos and P-51s as its ground attack aircraft. The first Mosquito attack against a major target was the 31 October 1956 attack on Al Arish, the Egyptian governmental and military headquarters in the Sinai. You are the attack leader.

Charlie Scherf ended his Mosquito Intruder career with the 418 RCAF Squadron with a flourish. After this mission he was rotated home to Australia where he served as an instructor.
An excellent Scherf "Cousin Jake" skin is available here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3329762/
An filmed interview from the Australian War Memorial of Scherf, his wingman Howie Cleveland (who would command the 18 at the end of the war and who also was Scherf's wingman on this mission) following a earlier mission is here: https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/F01446

An extensive update of a mission I posted previously: Traded unrealistic bombs for actual rockets, used the new weather features to provide the actual snow storm. Excellent Banff Mossie skins are now available at User Files: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3328061/ and https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3328060/
A raid in bad weather to sink a German ship carrying a huge cargo of coke, an essential material used in the manufacture of steel. The raid was led by Wing Commander Jean Maurice Guedj, a French pilot on his 150th combat mission of the war.
The Banff Strike Wing was unaware that two squadrons of FW-190A8s had very recently been moved to a Luftwaffe airfield close to Leirvik. The RAF did not earmark any Mosquitos for high cover and they had no escort. The FWs responded to the RAF raid and the result was the second largest air battle of the war over Norway.

A major rewrite of a mission I posted previously.
On 30 March 1945, the Banff Strike Wing raided Porsgrunn Harbor in Norway, a primary port for sending German troops back to Germany to fight against the approaching Allied armies. Three ships were sunk and a fourth damaged in what was rated one of the unit's most spectacular shipping strikes.

Updates: Historically correct armament: rockets. In previous version AI Mossies would not fire rocket so I substituted bombs. Now the rockets work properly (Thanks for the fix, ED!!!). And, with multicore, many more aircraft are supported. Also more historically correct ship and aircraft formations. And, correct Banff skins are now available at User Files (Thanks JP Gabobo!): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3328061/ and https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3328060/
On 7 March 1945, the Banff Strike Wing flew its longest mission to date to the Oslo Fjord to attack a formation of German landing craft carrying tanks and heavy artillery. The vessels were moving the weapons from Norway to Germany to help defend against the approaching Allied armies.
Requires South Atlantic map, which also has been recently updated and is even more stunning.

In the early hours of the last day of the Yom Kippur War, the Israeli high command ordered an IDF armored division to seize Port Suez, a major city on the southern terminus of The Suez canal. The division attacked at dawn with three brigades, none of which had an experience or training in joint operations in urban warfare. The Egyptians had been planning their defense of the city for about six months. By afternoon, the IDF was retreating and A-4Es were called in to help cover them.
