Re: April 26th Shot down of 2 P-61 by friendly fire
According to the 417th NFS' history and an interview with one of the surviving crews, the 417th lost three (3) P-61s that night.
P-61 (I didn't write down the tail #s) crewed by Lts T.E. Cartwell, pilot, and H.A. Anderson, R/O, were shot down and killed by friendly AA. Their patrol was assumed by P-61 crewed by Lts H.J. Allen, pilot, and Frank Campbell, R/O. They were hit by friendly AA but recovered at Y-90, Geiberlstadt. A third P-61 crashed at the conclusion of their patrol but the crew walked away.
