Re: Friendly fire WWII

Hi Brian,
the book "Luftwaffe Aces" by Franz Kurowski ( Stackpole Militaery History Series) 2004 notes in it's chapter on Heinz Bar pp 46 that just prior to the invasion of the west in May 1940, a bf 109 of JG.51 shot down the Fw.58 carrying Generalmajor Von Doring wounding him in the buttocks and slightly injuring one of his aides.
Anyone got any further details ?
