Re: 29/01/44 :B-25 victims of Friendly Fire
Vraciu's claims are in the morning, between 0810 and 1005. The first S of Burlesque I, the second at Roi I Lagoon, and the third at 25 m W of Burlesque I.
The ACA report is dated Jan 29, 1944, with takeoff at 1915 GCT, and landing at 2325 GCT. They encountered six Bettys between 2010 and 2205 GCT, all of which were shot down, three by Vraciu, one by Klingler, one by Merritt & Hobbs, and one by Bullard. Also claimed a Topsy about 2150 GCT by Fairbanks & Robbins.
I don't see how this can be equated with the loss of the B-25.
Enjoy!
Frank.
