9th USAFF losses - 31 aug 1944 - friendly fire
Hi,

Following a german flak report about the 31 augustus 1944, a Thunderbolt was shot down at this date on 11.30 AM at 30 km west-southern of Brussels while straffing a station.

There's no loss for the 8th USAAF at this date. Following a witness, it was a "friendly fire" on a German plane. A Fw 190 made a belly landing at this date or on 01.09.1944 a few kilometers longer. Fw 190 and Thunderbolt are a little bit similar in the air.

Then, does somebody have the USAAF losses for the 31 augustus 1944, specially concerning the Thunderbolts, and the places/circumstance of the crash ? This could make me sure on a "friendly fire".

Thanks all.
