Commando 5939 (Home of Heroes): BRADDOCK: Battle for Java 

After his prototype mosquito was destroyed, ace pilot Sergeant Matt Braddock found himself without an aircraft to fly. But being bounced around from airfield to airfield, then evacuated to India, Braddock soon spies an opportunity in the form of a Blenheim without a crew. Now he can take the fight back to the Japanese!

But how does Braddock go from flying his bomber with his navigator, George Bourne, to flying a hurricane fighter plane solo?!
