Re: Deliberate shooting down of fellow pilots
Are we being mealy-mouthed here, or are we discussing an incident other than the Bader/Cassons one? As I understand it, claims have been made that Cassons shot down Bader, though the evidence presented failed to completely convince me, and there seemed to be no need to include any element of intention.
Given the RAF's black humour, comments about any senior commander's loss being deliberate could well have been common, without necessarily having been true. Bader was something of a controversial figure: perhaps in his casse the story was just that much more believeable!
