593 Radio Navigation

"Damn it, I've never been trained for sea-based flying," a Great Tang pilot lamented as he adjusted his cap, heading towards his plane.

"Don't worry, your leader can navigate, and we will send out radio signals to guide you to land. There's no need to be concerned," an Air Force Commander reassured him.

Nearly all of the Tang Army's ground attack pilots were on missions within Qi Country's borders, leaving mostly those stationed at Dragon Island without sea flying training.

It wasn't entirely without exceptions; there were instructors on Dragon Island who were familiar with naval combat, but they all had to fly the precious Stuka Dive Bombers now.

With no alternative, to lead more fighters into battle, the experienced pilots all had to fly dual-seater aircraft to command and navigate.

In other words, these seasoned instructor pilots were responsible for leading the way, while the novice pilots were in charge of flying the fighters and executing attacks.
