There were blenheims flying over as early as 1940 while Uncle Joe was signing non agression pacts and MkIX Spits out of Northolt and P51's( over to you on this Bobbysocks) in 1943 while Russia was fighting in the Kursk and Korsun campaigns- so in truth they were there before Russian planes even entered German airspace.
