I've read stories that sound similar, don't recall that specific one.
But rather than playing tag with biplanes, the pilot should have
attacked the enemy center of gravity--the local corps headquarters,
the key railway bridge, or the fuel refinery, for instance.  In that
story, he probably didn't have air-to-ground weapons, but a Zhodani
invasion force against Nam grunts probably would.   There just
wouldn't be much to write a story about.
