Does anyone know of any captured aircraft from any war that while being test
flown by the capturing force was attacked and shotdown its previous owners or
allies?

The Japanese army's 64th Sentai captured and made airworthy two RAF
Hurricanes at Palembang, the Dutch Indies (Indonesia).

The vertical tail was painted white after an incident in which other
Japanese pilots attacked the Hurricanes. In March 1942 they were flown
to Bangkok and then to Chiang Mai in Thailand, where the 64th Sentai
was to be based for the final push on Burma.

The intention was to use them in "werewolf" raids on RAF bases in
Burma. Before this could be carried out, both were destroyed by the
AVG strafe of Chiang Mai on March 24, 1942.

As it happens, I just finished a page on the Werewolf Hurricanes that
I will be posting when I update the Annals of the Flying Tigers on
February 1.
