Re: Friendly fire WWII
Ron have true, F/O Powell was from 412 squadron, my mistake, I exchanged numbers.
The incident was 25 miles south of the Scilly Isles. Two Mustangs were on Instep patrol and two Spitfires on defensive patrol and each mistook the other for enemy. F/O L.W.Powell, DFC was killed in Spitfire Vc AR522 and F/O F.L.Vaupel in Mustang I AP206.
