HI all,
As an aside and not wanting to divert this thread I just wanted to say I feel Churchill's order on shooting down these type of planes was an overreaction (I am aware of the intelligence gathering in one He-59 pilot's notebook). I am sure that any armed aircraft could 'persuade' a Red cross marked plane (and therefore unarmed) to change it's course or activities without actually shooting it down.
As a doctor and ex-serving Army Medical Officer it is obviously a subject that is a little close to my heart!
