Re: Friendly fire WWII

Here's another! I did enquire if anyone knew the identity of a US P-51 pilot shot down in error by a Free French Spitfire pilot on 7 October 1944, presumably over Southern France. It seems that the following P-51 units lost aircraft on this date: 332FG (two), 20FG (three), 55FG (one), 359FG (one), 361 FG (one), 479FG (one), Is anyone able to narrow down the possible candidate?

Also, I am trying to establish the UK bases (Kent/Sussex) occupied by the following US fighter squadrons in June/July 1944: 326FS/362FG; 381FS/363FG, 365FS/358FG, 22FS/36FG (an aircraft type), 412FS/373FG - I know that you know what I don't know! Thanks

Brian
