Re: Halifax shot down by Russian fighters?
Hi,

148 RAF Halifax JP-276 "A" shot down by night fighter Dąbrowa Tarnowska
148 RAF Halifax EB-147 "K"shot down by night fighter by Skierniewice
148 RAF Halifax JP-162 "S" shot down by Bf110 by Nowy Sącz at 01.30. According to the crew the german fighter was guided by another Halifax manned by the german crew.
148 RAF Halifax JP-181 "X" shot down by Tarnów (probably by german night fighter)
There were some accidents with soviet fighters e.g. during the night 10/11 September 1944 Liberator from the 31 SAAF piloted by Lt.Smith was unsuccessfully atacked by soviet Hurricane (at 22.25 north of Rzeszów). At many occasions the allied bombers experienced soviet AA fire.

Regards

Robert
