I do not know if it was true or not, but re-reading the book of G/C Johnie Johnson ( yes, the top ace ) "Wing Leader" I found that his Wing shot down a Bf 109 with RAF roundels. This ever happened? I saw several pictures of G-10 with RAF roundels, but the aircraft were on the ground: captured aircraft transferred for evaluation, like so many He 219, Ta-154, Me 262, etc...( Whatson ´s wizzards ). But, this incident - the interception of Bf 109 with RAF roundels happened after D-Day. I will find on the book and quote properly here later...
Yes, Franek, I think it was from Wiesbaden ( will check on his letters later ); but he wrote a PR.9. I even mentioned the special PR.19 Meteor, but he confirmed PR.9 Camberra. Strange, isn´t it? I mean, being USAF, they certainly would fly their own machines, not a foreign one...Do you have any DATA about those "American" built Camberras flying at Wiesbaden?
We will keep in touch...

If I remember correctly, the aircraft were RAF Canberra PR9s stripped of markings, flown by RAF crews but under US control. Similar operations were flown by RAF crews in "ex-USAF" B-47 recce aircraft, again under American control. It was something about plausible deniability if one of these aircraft was forced down in Soviet controlled territory. There have been at least two documentary TV programes about these flights titled: "Shot down over the Soviet Union" or "Spy Overfights" or something similar.
