You will find that if you attack an enemy force and there are allied air resources within range, they will come attack them also. If yo don't leave the area right away, and they are fairly close you will be able to hear their AA guns and see the flak bursts. Fun to watch. However, be prepared to then go down there and rescue the allied pilots. Watch for the pink clouds that mark their life rafts. You won't get renown for picking them up, but still it is the decent thing to do.
