Re: Friendly fire WWII
BTW Brian, in Dénes Bernád’s et al very good From Barbarossa to Odessa Vol. 1, which is in any case well worth of its price, there are a number of “friedly fire” cases.

Re: Friendly fire WWII
Thanks for the info, Juha, I have just ordered a copy of Denes Bernad's book.
Csaba - I can't find your 'Aces of Hearts' on Amazon.uk or Amazon.com Is it in English? If not, perhaps you will kindly provide details of the friendly fire incidents you indicate. Cheers Brian |

Re: Friendly fire WWII
Hello Brian
on 25 Dec 1939 SLt Storozhakov from 26 IAP claimed a Gamecock near Lake Suvanto in Karelian Isthmus. Next day it proved out that the downed Gamecock was in fact an I-15bis from 59 IAB, which had made a forced landing in territory occupied by Soviet forces. On the same mission the formation of 8 I-16s also shot at an R-5. Source: Keskinen - Partonen - Stenman Suomen Ilmavoimat Finnish Air Force 1928 – 40 Juha |

Re: Friendly fire WWII
Brian, I Have Been Doing Research On RCAF 414 Over The Last Few Years. My Father Was S/L In 43 And 44. I Had The Orb For 41-45 At One Point. I Recall Reading About A Friendly Fire Dogfight The Resulted In Two Pilots ( RAF And RCAF) Being Killed And The Other Two Wingman Being Witnesses At The Subsequent Inquiry. In Reviewing The Copies Of The ORB Pages That I Retained I Can't Seem To Find It. Has Anyone Told You About This Incident ?
