Re: April 26th Shot down of 2 P-61 by friendly fire
Hi Rolf,
Sounds like an aircraft of the 417th NFS, which went operational with the P-61 on 24 April, 1945. There's a note in "Queen of the Night Skies" that one of their aircraft was lost to friendly flak while protecting the bridgeheads at Ulm, Dillingen and Donauwoerth - just the right area.
There's no note of a second aircraft (though I recall "reading somewhere" that it was *three* aircraft lost this way!), nor of serial number. I'll have a squizz at Joe Baugher's site.
Cheers,
Mark
