My uncle was with a group of PBY or PBM planes stationed in far north east Korea at the end of the war in the pacific. He recounted to me one of their unarmed, by then, patrol planes was flying over Manchuria when it was jumped by a Ruskie plane, he did not further ID. No one was injured. He added they were so angered by the unprovoked attack the crews wanted to rearm their planes and go back up after them but were denied that request. He always held the belief the army should not have stopped at the end of the European war and gone on to Moscow (I personally think that was not such a good idea).

That’s what Patton wanted to do too.
