plain flour sounds like plane (fighter) flower (rose)

15d: battles= campaigns (def)
bottles - wine collection; change the "o" to "a"

Given that the changed vowel is unchecked it's probably more important that the wordplay isn't compromised for the sake of the surface reading in order for it to be a fair clue.
