IMHO most of these stories based on misindetification (I know some examples) Sometimes the US fighters shot down their own planes mistakenly also (for example a 7-kill-ace, 1stLt Ernest Shipman 307 FS/31 FG was shot down by an own P-38)
The US flag sounds simply unbelievable generally: the nationality of the opponent was marked, not the manufacturer of the type (and the own goals were not counted as kills; so the US flag on an US fighter... sounds impossible in WW II)
