Re: Friendly fire WWII
Hedley Everard of RAF 17 Squadron shot down a "navy Zero" that turned out to be a Hurricane photo plane at Magwe, Burma, in March 1942. See Chris Shores's Bloody Shambles, I think volume two.
Freeman Ricketts of the AVG Flying Tigers shot down a USAAF B-25 Mitchell bomber in China, July 1942 I think it was (and the B-25 pilot reported he'd been shot down by two Zeroes!). See my Flying Tigers: Claire Chennault etc.
