There was almost another similar case, in Berane, Montenegro, on May 1944.
Plane landed on airfield, and partisans didn't shoot at it because they want to capture it after landing. One downed American airman came close to plane (thought it was plane that will rescue him to Bari), crew opened door, asked American where they were, and after they got answer quickly flew away.
