Re: Friendly fire WWII
From Martin Middlebrook book "The Schweinfurt-Regensburg mission", page 130, on 17 August 1943 the ball gunner of the B-17 of 385th BG of the Regensburg force flown by John Pettinger was killed in his turret by a 50-in bullet fired by another bomber of the group. No name is given, but from the casualty list in the end of the book he was probably S/Sgt Gleen C. Knecht.
