Re: Friendly fire WWII

Hi guys

To add to my earlier listing of apparent friendly fire incidents as noted on the 'ArmyAirforces' Accident Reports website:

23 Feb 1945: F-6 44-14602 lost to friendly fire (Donald G. Dowell); F-6 43-12409 lost to friendly fire (Wallace F. Mitchell baled out)

5 March 1945: B-24 42-100334 lost to friendly fire (pilot Ralph E. Reed) Clacton, Essex

15 March 1945: C-47A 42-92424 lost to friendly fire (pilot William F. Lange) Gravesend, Kent

17 March 1945: B-24 42-40163 lost to friendly fire (pilot Howard T. Worrall)

9 April 1945: B-17G 44-8798 ditched due to friendly fire (pilot Aliston Slade)

Again, any help will be much appreciated.

Cheers
Brian
