Hello all,

I am interested in another friendly fire incident involving one of 68 Sqn Beaufighters. On June 27, 1944 Beaufighter VIF, KV974 WM-R with F/Lt J. Capka, DFM and F/Lt G.T. Williams, DFM was shot down at 15:30 by the gunners of US Liberator when closing to mock attack during non operational flight. F/Lt Williams baled out unhurt, but the pilot with head injury (blinded in left eye) was trapped by the blocked emergency exit and had to crash land the burning aircraft near Layer Breton, Colchester, Suffolk suffering severe burns.

Is the identity of US Liberator disclosed ?

Thanks in advance.
