... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Yes.

They are the one example I know of pilots turning off their engines in flight for reasons other than damage.

Actually only two prototypes of Tu-85 were build - they were based on Tu-4. The Tu-95 was favored over Tu-85:

Tu-95 (from wikipedia)



That still is service

And they are planned to remain in service with the Russian Air Force until 2040. Over 80 years of service.
