Re: Friendly fire WWII

Hi Nick, it was a sticky at a time before activity of the thread went down.

Brian, I think you have a fold3 account now, here are some links on the USN War Diaries section describing friendly fire incidents. These reports are always written from the ship side and do not identify the aircraft involved, but are interesting anyway.

9 June 1944: several Allied aircraft shot down off Normandy by naval Allied AA fire
