It is correct, Shipman's Mustang was shot down by a P-38 over Hungary, the pilot baled out and was taken POW (Shipman was an ace, after the war he become an actor)
My "Ace of Hearts" Squadron history book contains 5 air to air friendly fire accidents in details from summer, 1941 over the Soviet Union (and one ground to air as well)
