Re: Friendly fire WWII
Group Captain Gerry Edge (then commanding 253 Squadron) once discussed his shooting down on September 26th 1940 with me, and often attributed it to his No2, P/O Samolinski.
He felt that Samolinski had opened fire to the rear and starboard, touched the rudder and riddled Edges' Hurricane, causing him to bale out. Though in this case, I'm not sure it could be attributed as a 'full on' friendly fire incident.
