Re: Friendly fire WWII
Hello Brian
on 25 Dec 1939 SLt Storozhakov from 26 IAP claimed a Gamecock near Lake Suvanto in Karelian Isthmus. Next day it proved out that the downed Gamecock was in fact an I-15bis from 59 IAB, which had made a forced landing in territory occupied by Soviet forces. On the same mission the formation of 8 I-16s also shot at an R-5.
