Re: Friendly fire WWII
Having not looked throught every post on this thread I run the risk of duplication but I'll take my chances. Capt Jack Coonan 38th FS 55th FG shot down by his wingman Lt Amoss in Jan 45. There was a 78th FG P-47 shot down by error over England during a practive dogfight with the pilot killed. Lt Ernie Shipman of the 31st FG was shot down by a P-38J over Italy in 1944 and captured. Then there's the "Mad Gunner" who downed severed US aircraft before his shame led him to refuse to baleout when his B-17 was shot down.
