Captured A/C Shootdown?
For example the Germans captured many Allied aircraft and test flew and
demonstrated them in their own markings. Were any ever shot down?
A P-61 shot down a Luftwaffe-flown KG 200 B-17 in early 1945. It had been
involved in dropping German agents in American uniforms. The "Böing" was found
after crashing and the (7? I think) survivors of the crew gave their captors
information about their mission.
