Re: Friendly fire WWII
Thanks for the identification of the aircraft shot down by GULF OF MEXICO.
Another similar incident happened on 6 June 1942 in the Indian Ocean: The Norwegian motor merchant INDRA was en route northeast of Ceylon when an aircraft circled the ship several times. As it began to dive towards the ship her AA gunners downed the aircraft. Apparently it was a British Swordfish aircraft (814 Sqn FAA, pilot SubLt Andrew Moore, RNVR), all three crew members were lost. |
