don't know about fighters, but the Connie crews could only
claim one mission a day, whether you flew 1 sortie or 2. Usually
the mission number would be xxx, then xxx-a, xxx-b, etc, and
flight records wouldn't count the extra sorties in the decoration

Ah the old Missions vs Sorties raises it's ugly head again.
