Re: Shot down of 2 Black Widows by freindly Fire

Hallo Rolf and Brian,

There is a very brief reference to this loss (one only) in QUEEN OF THE MIDNIGHT SKIES by Garry R.Pape and Ronald C. Harrison, subtitled 'The Story of America's Air Force Night Fighters'. It notes the 417th NFS lost one P-61 to 'friendly' anti-aircraft fire while protecting the bridgeheads at Ulm, Dillingen and Donauworth in late April 1945. No crew names, aircraft serial or even exact date.

Hope this helps,

Martin Gleeson.
