Re: Friendly fire WWII

Another interesting case: a Wellington downed by an Allied balloon barrage... after flying purposely into it !

By the way, I found two dates for Wellington P9210 destruction, 23 and 24 March 1942, and would like which one is the correct one.

(context of the loss, search P9210 and read the sentences before this word)
