Friendly fire WWII

[Laurent Rizzotti]

A Pacific story:

"In spite of the fact that 'Black Mac's Killers' arrived forty days after the Okinawa campaign began, and the weather was horrendous throughout, they shot down 35 enemy aircraft-all radar intercepts, which is almost as many aircraft destroyed as all 3 other night fighter squadrons on Okinawa, combined! VMF(N) 533 is the top scoring Night Fighter Squadron of the Pacific Theater in WWII. VMF(N) 533 had the best safety record and the highest combat ready rate for any operational squadron in the Pacific. In 15 months deployment overseas the 'Scrappers' logged nearly 11,000 flight hours with only two regrettable losses, both due to 'friendly' fire, 1st Lt.'s Wilhide and Kelley."

THE ABMC website has a 1st Lt Robert Wilhide killed on 17 May 1945 or 2nd Lt Wilfred Wilhide killed on 26 May 1945, both of them being USMC pilots !!! Too much Kelleys listed to find the good one.
