Re: Friendly fire WWII

there were some Finnish plane losses to own ground fire, for ex. HC-459 (Hurricane Mk I) on 2 July 41, Finnish AA hit it but it got back to base but catch fire during landing and was written-off and on 11 June 44 DN-56 or -61 (Do-17Z), cannot remember which was shot down by Finns and which by Soviets, in both cases pilot and observer KIA and gunner and W/O survived.
There are also other cases for example the second FAF pilot KIA was shot down by own AA near Viipuri/Wyborg on 1 Dec. 1939 in FR-77 (Fokker D.XXI).
