Re: Halifax shot down by Russian fighters?
Apologies for not being technical. Norman Davies excellent book on the Warsaw Uprising includes references to Allied aircraft (RAF I believe) being deliberately attacked and shot down by USSR forces whilst attempting to deliver supplies to the AK in Warsaw. The Soviet Union considered the Polish Army as its enemy (after all the USSR participated in the military offensive against Poland in 1939 - without any Allied repercussions unlike Germany) and it is no surprise that it considered Allied support for Polish resistance against German forces to be an 'unfriendly' act!
