In the early '50s, we used 2-4D on rice. Any drift towards cotton fields resulted in damaged cotton. I don't know of any ag planes hit by gunfire, but pilots were nervous.

Fortunately, only trees were burned. He didn't try that anymore. 2-4D did an effective job on rice, but it was a threat downwind. They finally went to 2-4-5T as it seemed to drift less. It got to the point that an USDA inspector had to be present during the spraying operations, with a tire burning to check wind direction.
