Yak-1 approached his Boston III and suddenly opened fire on it.
It seems unbelievable that a fighter that approached near enough to the Boston to be IDed by its a/c number would attack an a/c that it was escorting. I wonder if an Fw 190 carried out the attack on the Boston, and the a/c number was misread, thus making it an unfriendly fire incident.
