I checked the game file and the code and the error exists
in the scenario file, which I'll need to correct for future
games.

The easiest way to circumvent this issue and land the fighters
on your carrier is to issue the "Emergency Landing" orders.

It fails when you issue the "Return Home" orders for the
simple reason is that

they do (They fly to it!)

and don't (They don't land!)

know where home is....

Therefore, any scenario files on Roger's system for the automated
game start needs to be updated for the new fighter landing code.
