Multiple attacker question

Multiple attacker question
After the escorts vs. interceptors, an ace in a damaged FW-190 along with 2 other damaged FW-190s attacked the same B-17.
Question #1. Is this a single attack by the ace with one defensive fire and a +2 to the ace attack for two supporters or three separate attacks with 3 separate defensive fires and 3 separate attacks with a +2 modifier for each German attack?
Question #2. The same question for escorts versus interceptors. Is a two escort versus one interceptor a single attack with a plus one modifier or is it two separate attacks against the interceptor, each with a plus one modifier?
Thanks

#1: One attack with support

#2: One attack with support (think of him as a wingman)

OK then if I damage him, in the second round of combat do I fight the damaged one or does the good wingman take over and the damaged enemy becomes the support. I played it that I continue to attack the damaged one. Was I right?
