Friendly fire WWII

Dear Brian,

Back in 1994, I found several files at NARA, College Park, Maryland having information on USAAF vs Soviet friendly fire incidents. I marked down the files, but forgot where I placed this information.

Yesterday, while packing material from several filing cabinets into boxes for the move back to Canada, I accidently found the references. Besides the reference numbers, my brief notes state: CCS373.11 USAAF attack Soviet Ship 9-16-1944;CCS373.11 alleged violation of USSR bombing; and CCS373.2 3-20-45 Russians attack B-17 in Moris region. Though the reports detail certain specific incidents, they also contain information on several more encounters between Soviet and USAAF aircraft. Apparently, friendly fire between both the Soviets and USAAF appears to be quite common at the end of the war.

I plan attending my unit's reunion, the 12th TFW, Cam Ranh, RSVN, in Washington, DC in Sept. Will visit NARA and copy the files for you. Hope this is not too late.

Yours very truly,
Norman Malayney
