Re: Friendly fire WWII
Hi mhuxt - thanks for the details.
Michal - I had note of the incident but not full identities - thanks.
Six Nifty - great stuff. I have not consulted Schrader's book nor Gauker & Blood summaries (not aware of these). Please elaborate to enable me to purchase same. The mind boggles at what you may find in the US fighter histories! I await with anticipation!
Cheers
Brian
