Re: Was there an order to destroy aircraft force landed in enemy territory?

Regardless of "Standing Orders" why would the crew NOT destroy their aircraft if at all possible? It's common sense to deny the enemy anything that may help them.
They were obliged to as PoW's to make life difficult, so it makes sense to apply it to their equipment too.
