Re: Friendly fire WWII
Hi guys
Thanks for the latest contributions, I really am grateful and will duly acknowledge all contributors in my forthcoming book by way of thanks. As I am still having problems responding, I reply to all herewith : JUHA - yes thanks, I have picked up on past discussions but may well come back to you. SMUDGER - I had overlooked Aaron's VC incident. Thanks for reminding me. STEPHEN - similarly, I did not have record of the 421 Sqn incident. Thanks for this and also info provided via Hugh. MARK & JON - I think the incidents are one and the same, in which case I do have details, although I understand the 357thFG shot two Mosquitos. Still investigating the second. JON - I will research Mr Bircher's bale out to see if I can establish date and unit, unless you already know? LAURENT - what can I say? Thanks a million. I have some recorded but certainly not all. I wasn't aware of the 17/5/40 Blenheim losses to French fighters. I've had a look at 82 Squadron's ORB and note 11 Blenheims failed to return from that mission. I wonder which three were shot down by the French fighters? Do you know? I would dearly like any additional details related to ALL the incidents you record, including names of crews/pilots responsible etc. May be you would care to write to me with details at: 31 Raynham Road, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk IP32 6EA. BOB COLLIS - we must be practically neighbours! Perhaps you would care to phone (01284-760271), and perhaps we could meet for a chat. I, too, have long maintained an interest in East Anglian airwar incidents. Gentlemen! I thank you all for your help - please keep it coming! Brian |
