Friendly Fire
Question, Was this commonplace, even though the aircraft would have been recognizable as Allied aircraft to an attaching Spitfire?
"the story came out soon after that several Hampden Bombers returning from a operation over the Norwegian coast failed to give the correct identification signal for the day and our defence Spitfires promptly brought it down just south of Craigleith Island, one of the Hampden crew died as a result of this dreadful mistake"
