7 October 1944 - Allied aircraft attack Indian motor launches

Hi guys

Laurent has kindly advised me of the following friendly fire incident. Can anyone add to this? Aircraft/squadron etc involved?

On 7 October 1944, two Indian M.L. (1118 and 1119) were sunk by friendly aircraft in "Indian waters" (or off Burma?) and 9 men were killed. On the same day several crew of other ML were also lost, maybe in the same attack.

Cheers
Brian
