In emergency/combat with full throttle and high RPM's to avoid the possiblity of pre-ignition and detonation, I think you'ld be using full rich mixture most of the time. (less efficient but safer - of course when we're up at 20,000 feet that may be different).
In a light plane it's easy, once you've settled into your cruise you reduce your mixture from rich until you you obtain the highest RMP (indicating the most efficient Fuel/Air mixture) then bump the mixture in a bit so your not running to lean.

Those throttle quadrants didn't have RPM leavers- Hmmm early fixed pich props maybe????????
[\EDIT
Did you mean shooting down a plane with a Bazooka? or was there another equally impressive scene I missed?

No I just think you missed the point thats all
