Re: Friendly fire WWII

Hi Thierry

Thanks for the lead.

However, something definitely wrong with the caption.

Not A/G 'Sgt Fairweather' for a start! The person pictured is a Flight Lieutenant pilot!

Mac is wearing Squadron Leader stripes, so not Flying Officer!

And I would guess that is not a Defiant, but possibly a Mosquito!

So if that picture depicts friendly AA fire it happened later in the war.

I will bear this 'incident' in mind when researching later volumes of the Blue on Blue series.

Thanks
Brian
