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
