The biplane won!

The F-94 slowed down to keep the 94mph Po-2 in sight to get a shot, and is believed to have stalled and crashed whilst doing so.
Various aircraft were tried to try and deal with the night time nuisance raids by the Po-2 including T-6 Texans and Fireflies as well as the F-94 with little success,
The F-94 that managed to shoot down one had to deploy its undercarriage and flaps but after that success stalled and crashed. Another F-94 collided with another Po-2 and also crashed.
