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
