Re: Friendly fire WWII
I do not know if this may be on any interest to you, but note that, on September 26th 1940, during the Anglo-French confrontation in Dakar, Sénégal, the flying boat Loire 130Cl # 22 belonging to the "Section de surveillance de l'escadrille 4E", mistaken for a Supermarine Walrus, was attacked and shot down by a Dewoitine 501 from "Escadrille I/6" stationed in Thiès. The pilot was saved by his parachute but the three other crew members were killed in the ensuing crah.
