Re: Friendly fire WWII
Hello, from Six Nifty .50s post on the previous page there is the followng item:-
22 May 1940
Blenheim L9266 (59 Squadron). Shot down by RAF Spitfire and crashed near Fricourt, France. Three crewmen killed. (p.226). Warner, Graham. Bristol Blenheim: A Complete History. 2nd Edition.
Having a house just down the road I have a particular interest in this crash. I was aware that there is no corresponding German fighter claim but the concept of friendly fire is new to me. Does anyone know anything more on this?
Best regards, David D
