Re: K.G.V Nightfighter combat losses 23/24 August 1943
Blue on Blue incidents are regarded as a very sensitive subject especicailly to relatives and yes, I have found evidence that they were 'hushed up' due to the effect on morale. Some incidents, like the bouncing of 609 Sqn by P-47s in Dec 43 which resulted in the deaths of the CO plus one and the damaging of another Typhoon, could never be hushed up due to the plethora of evidence and eye-witnesses
